Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. The leather will mold to your foot over time with wear. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.
Gum sole shows scuff marks.
Minor scuffs can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser or a damp cloth. For deeper marks, it's a common sign of wear for gum soles.
Leather or suede getting dirty.
Clean promptly with a damp cloth for leather. Use a suede brush for suede. For tougher stains, consult specific leather and suede cleaning products, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Color transfer from Burgundy stripes or heel.
This is rare but can occur if the material is excessively wet. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing in humid conditions. If significant transfer occurs, try cleaning the affected area gently.
