Troubleshooting

Color appears different than expected

Color variations can occur due to monitor settings. Please refer to official product images or descriptions for the most accurate representation.

Initial tightness or discomfort

Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

The gum rubber outsole provides good grip, but like all footwear, traction may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care:
