Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
Leather shows signs of drying or cracking
Apply a leather conditioner according to product instructions. This will help to restore moisture and suppleness to the leather.
Tread appears worn
The outsole is designed for casual wear. For significantly worn tread, consider replacement or use for less demanding activities.

Compatibility: The unisex sizing makes them compatible with a wide range of wearers. They are designed to be worn with standard socks.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Conditioning: For best results, use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
