Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet.
Zipper on tongue protector is difficult to move
Ensure there is no debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a dry lubricant to the teeth.
Leather shows scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for white leather and follow product instructions carefully.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New shoe soles can sometimes have a slick finish. Lightly scuffing the soles on a rough surface (like concrete outdoors) can help improve traction. Ensure the surfaces you walk on are not excessively wet or smooth.
