Troubleshooting

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot, or consider replacing them with different laces that offer better grip.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or friction. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discomfort on first wear

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Discoloration on nubuck material

Avoid exposing the shoes to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals for prolonged periods. Use a nubuck eraser for minor scuffs.
