Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If it persists, a light dusting of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Loosening or re-lacing the shoes can also help alleviate pressure.
Metallic emblems tarnishing
These are metal accents. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching or damage.
