Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or stiff on first wear
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Creases forming on the leather upper
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather and indicates the shoe is being flexed during wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole offers good traction, performance on very wet surfaces may be diminished. Exercise caution and ensure the sole is clean and free from debris.

Care:
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a conditioning product to maintain suppleness.
