Troubleshooting
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Replace laces with new ones of a similar style or color. Clean existing laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
Leather creasing over time
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
