Troubleshooting
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather upper
Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a dab of leather conditioner. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be necessary, applied sparingly.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to lift dirt and restore texture. A suede eraser can help with stubborn marks.
Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. You can also use thicker socks during this period.
Foul odor inside the sneakers
Remove insoles and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake it out. Odor-absorbing inserts or sprays can also be used.
