Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Natural creasing is normal with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Suede toe cap looks scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Gum sole is dirty
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
