Troubleshooting
Traction is poor on wet surfaces.
Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider specialized footwear designed for superior wet grip.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.
Sizing feels slightly off.
Try wearing them with different thicknesses of socks. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.
Color transfer from the shoe.
This can sometimes occur with dyed leather, especially when new and exposed to moisture. Allow the shoes to dry completely and wear darker socks initially if concerned.
