Troubleshooting
Difficulty adjusting the toggle lacing
Ensure the laces are not overly tightened or bunched up. Try loosening the laces slightly before adjusting the toggle. If the toggle feels stiff, check for any debris trapped within its mechanism.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more frequently to break them in. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole or a light conditioning of the leather might also help.
Marks or scuffs on the leather or suede
For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather eraser or a damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush to lift the nap. For tougher stains, consult a specialist leather and suede cleaner.
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the strap by re-threading it through the buckle mechanism until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the toggle lacing complements the strap for overall stability.
