Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable despite being the correct size.
Ensure laces are not overtightened. The `H fit width` is designed for wider feet, but if discomfort persists, try utilizing the `removable insole` to accommodate custom orthotics or a thinner insole if needed. Allow a short break-in period, as leather can adapt slightly to your foot shape.
Leather appears dull or dry.
The `premium leather` requires care. Clean the leather with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and luster to the leather.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the `removable insole` and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe before reinserting the insole. Also, check that the sole is clean and free of debris.
