Troubleshooting

Fasteners not sticking properly

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free from lint or debris. Gently brush them with a stiff brush if needed.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Clean the leather with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a suitable leather conditioner or shoe cream to restore moisture and cover minor scuffs.
