Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda under the insole or around the tongue area.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit; a shoe that is too large can lead to unnatural creasing. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Discoloration of the green accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean gently with appropriate leather care products as recommended.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: To clean the leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
