Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine. Ensure you are using a conditioner specifically for polished leather.
Crepe sole is dirty or discolored
Gently brush the sole with a soft brush. For tougher marks, a specialized crepe rubber cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully.
Kiltie is difficult to attach or remove
Ensure the kiltie is aligned correctly with the lacing. If stiff, gently flex it to make it more pliable. Avoid forcing it.
Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable
Leather will stretch slightly with wear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially. Ensure the correct size is being worn. If a different size is needed, consult the retailer for an exchange.
