Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is normal for leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Stuff shoes with paper when not in use to help maintain shape.
Gum sole becoming sticky or discolored
Clean the sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, which can affect the rubber.
Fit feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Adjust lacing to customize the fit. Leather will stretch slightly over time to conform to your foot.
