Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff and uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a strong knot. Consider replacing the laces with a textured pair that offers better grip.
Surface scuffs or marks on the leather.
Use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, a colored leather restorer or shoe polish might be necessary.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more ingrained dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out and cracking.
- Protection: Use a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and protect the material. Using shoe trees is recommended to absorb moisture and preserve the shoe's structure.
