Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner may be used sparingly, followed by a polish with a clean, soft cloth.
Ankle strap feels too loose or tight
Adjust the buckle to the nearest hole for a secure yet comfortable fit. If it's significantly off, consider consulting a cobbler for potential adjustments or adding an extra hole.
Discomfort during extended wear
Ensure the size is correct and that the ankle strap is properly adjusted. Wearing the shoes for short periods initially can help break them in. Consider using cushioned insoles if needed.
Loss of shine on patent finish
Use a dedicated patent leather cleaner and conditioner. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently to restore shine.

Care:

- Storage: Store in the provided shoe box to protect from dust and scratches. It is recommended to keep them stuffed with tissue paper to maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a patent leather protector spray for added defense against minor scuffs and water marks. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause the patent finish to discolour or become brittle.
- Sole Care: The leather sole may benefit from a protective sole layer applied by a cobbler for increased durability and grip, especially if worn frequently on rough surfaces.
