Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or consider a shoe stretching tool for minor adjustments. As they are leather, they may also stretch slightly with wear.
Leather scuffs or marks appear
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized leather cleaner may be used, followed by a leather conditioner.
Discoloration of the material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate leather care products as recommended.
