Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner according to product instructions to restore moisture and flexibility.
Soles are slippery
Consider having a cobbler apply a thin rubber sole protector or heel taps for improved traction. Alternatively, use anti-slip sole stickers.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather repair balm or consult a professional shoe repair service.
