Troubleshooting
Shoes appear stiff initially
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and soften around your foot.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing the laces if they are old or slippery.
Leather shows scuff marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a matching colored shoe polish/cream. For deeper scuffs, a professional leather repair product may be needed.
Soles developing wear
The non-marking synthetic sole is durable. If significant wear is noticed, check for consistent exposure to abrasive surfaces or excessive friction.
