Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Wear with thin socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher. The leather may stretch slightly with use.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with a new pair of durable skate laces. Keep laces tied loosely when not in use to reduce stress.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt and debris.
Leather shows signs of wear
Clean regularly and apply a leather conditioner or protectant spray to maintain the material's condition.
