Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable at first.

Allow for a short break-in period. Premium leather often needs time to soften and mold to the shape of your foot. Wear them for short durations initially to facilitate this process.

Leather appears dull or dry.

Clean the leather with a soft cloth and a dedicated leather cleaner, then apply a quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and shine to the material.

Foot odor when wearing barefoot.

Ensure shoes are aired out after each wear. You can also use foot powder, shoe deodorizers, or remove and wash the footbeds if they are machine washable (check care instructions for the footbed material first).

Footbed slides or bunches up.

Ensure the removable Contour Cushion footbed is correctly seated and flat inside the shoe. If it continues to shift, you may use a small piece of double-sided tape underneath to secure it.

Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water stains and spills. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.4. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
