Troubleshooting
Slight creases on leather after first wear
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather. Wear them normally to allow the leather to conform to your foot. Consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Print on the shoe appears to be fading
Ensure the shoes are cleaned according to the care instructions, avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive scrubbing. Store them away from direct sunlight.
Laces seem too short/long
