Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot.

Color transfer on socks

Some dark or vibrant dyes can transfer initially. This is common with new leather goods. Subsequent wears or a mild cleaning may reduce this effect.

Dirt or scuff marks

Use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. For scuff marks, a leather eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner might be effective.
