Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure all parts of the shoe are properly settled. If persistent, check if the insole is loose or consider a specialized shoe lubricant for the tongue area.

Leather creasing or stiffness

Ensure the shoes are not stored in extreme temperatures. Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material flexible. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Discoloration on the 'Raw Amethyst' color

Avoid direct and prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with appropriate leather care products specifically designed for colored leather to prevent color transfer or loss.
