Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the sole layers. Try flexing the shoe gently or wearing it for a short period; the noise often subsides with use. Ensure no debris is trapped under the outsole.

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoe is new, it may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit.

Color transfer from socks or dye

This can happen with new footwear, especially in darker colors. Ensure socks are colorfast. For light-colored shoes, consider using a protective spray designed for leather and fabric, though test in an inconspicuous area first.
