Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight initially
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your foot with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to break them in.
Suede is dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a suede cleaning guide or professional cleaner.
Leather shows scuffs
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a color-matched shoe polish can often help blend them in. Test any product on a hidden area first.
Elastic straps feel loose
Ensure the straps are positioned correctly. If they have stretched significantly over time, professional repair might be needed.
