Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more or applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole if removable.
Creasing on the leather
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs on Sail leather
Use a magic eraser or a specialized leather cleaner designed for white or off-white leather. Always test on a small area first.
Uneven fit
Ensure laces are tied consistently. If the issue persists, the shoe might not be the right fit for your foot shape; consider trying a different size or width if available.
