Troubleshooting
Leather surface appears dull or scuffed
Gently clean with a damp cloth and then apply a suitable leather conditioner or polish designed for embossed leather. Buff with a soft cloth.
Laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing to your preferred tightness. Ensure the knot is secure but not overly tight, which could damage the eyelets.
Slight odor inside the shoe
Remove the insoles (if possible) and allow the shoes to air out. Using a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight can help absorb odors.
Water spots or stains on the leather
For fresh water spots, try to dab the area gently with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
