Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from the sole.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions or check for any debris trapped in the sole's grooves.

Leather appears creased or scuffed.

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair kit. Avoid excessive flexing.

Laces are difficult to tighten.

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets and are not twisted. Consider replacing the laces if they are worn out.

Discomfort or pressure points.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Insoles can be added for customized comfort if needed.
