Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness or discomfort on first wear
Leather will naturally mold to your foot over time. Wear them indoors on soft surfaces for short periods to break them in gradually. Ensure you have the correct size; consider a professional cobbler for minor stretching if needed.
Scuff marks on the heel
For minor scuffs on the painted heel, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, professional restoration might be necessary to maintain the integrity of the hand-painted finish.
Slipping due to sole
The leather and rubber sole provides some traction. If you experience slipping on certain surfaces, consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector.
