Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Consider trying on different sizes or wearing thicker socks. Some users find a break-in period helps the leather conform to their foot.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or a matching color polish to restore moisture and cover minor scuffs. Clean the shoes first before conditioning.
Laces are difficult to tighten
Ensure the laces are not tangled within the eyelets. Loosen them completely before re-lacing and tightening for a secure fit.
