Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Try loosening the laces. If the tightness persists, consider the break-in period or consult sizing charts for potential exchanges.

Discoloration on leather

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area.
