Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with thin socks initially to allow the leather to stretch slightly. If still uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.
Leather shows scuffs or marks easily
This is characteristic of the distressed leather finish. Minor scuffs can often be blended in with a soft brush or cloth. For more significant marks, consult specific leather care products for distressed finishes.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. For very smooth or wet surfaces, exercise caution as with any footwear.
