Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the lace-up closure. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the insole can be replaced with a thinner one.
Leather shows minor scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a specific leather repair product designed for the color of the shoes. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional cobbler.
Slight odor inside the shoe
Remove the insole and air out both the shoe and the insole. You can also use shoe deodorizing sprays or inserts.
Traction feels reduced
