Troubleshooting

Leather appears creased or scuffed

Use a leather conditioner to help restore suppleness and minimize the appearance of creases. For scuffs, try a specialized leather cleaner or cream, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a sole protector or consult a cobbler.

Odors inside the shoe

Allow shoes to air out thoroughly between wears. Use baking soda or activated charcoal inserts to absorb odors. Regular cleaning of the insole can also help.
