Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent tightness occurs.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water on suede.
Traction is reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the saw-tooth outsoles are clean and free of mud or debris. While designed for grip, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction; exercise caution.
