Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on patent leather

Gently clean with a specialized patent leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Buff with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Laces becoming worn

Replace worn laces with a new pair of flat laces of a similar length. Branded lace charms can be transferred to new laces.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit. The low padded collar provides support, but break-in time may be needed for new leather footwear. Wear with appropriate socks.
