Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.
Leather appears dry or cracked
Apply a good quality leather conditioner according to the product's instructions. Ensure regular conditioning, especially after exposure to harsh conditions.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
Use a matching color shoe polish or cream to cover minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, consult a professional cobbler.
Soles showing signs of wear
Regularly inspect the outsole. If significant wear is noticed, consider having them resoled by a professional to extend the life of the shoe.
