Troubleshooting

Swoosh attachment feels loose

Ensure the Swoosh is properly aligned with the attachment points on the shoe. Check for any debris obstructing the connection.

Leather creasing heavily

Natural creasing is normal for leather. To minimize, avoid bending the shoe excessively when not worn and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Sole separation on older pairs

For significant separation, professional shoe repair may be necessary. For minor lifting, a strong adhesive designed for footwear can be applied carefully.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and leather cleaner. Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing.
