Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Consider using thicker socks during break-in. If persistent, ensure you have the correct size.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a leather conditioner generously. Allow it to soak in, then buff off any excess. Regular conditioning is key to prevention.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a matching colour shoe polish to cover the mark and restore the finish.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and insole. Try sprinkling a little talcum powder inside the shoe under the insole.
