Troubleshooting
Laces loosening during wear
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. If persistent, consider replacing laces with a grippier material or double-looping them.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust lacing to reduce pressure points. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
Leather showing scuffs or marks
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit may be necessary.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the tread provides grip, caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris for optimal traction.
