Troubleshooting
Leather creasing heavily
This is normal for leather. To minimize creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Stains on the leather
Address stains immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight discomfort on first wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
