Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, use a matching color leather conditioner or polish. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional cobbler.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Replace laces with a similar style or color from a shoe care specialist. Clean laces by hand washing with mild soap and water.
Sole becoming detached or worn
If the sole is still in good condition but detaching, a cobbler may be able to re-glue it. If significantly worn, consider resoling options if available, or replacement may be necessary.
Discoloration of contrasting elements
Ensure the contrasting elements are made of leather. If so, follow the same care instructions as the main shoe. If they are made of a different material, check product details for specific care.
