Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Wear with thin socks initially. Leather will stretch slightly with use. Consider a professional stretching service if persistent.
Suede material is scuffed
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove superficial scuffs. For deeper marks, a suede eraser can be effective.
Gum sole is dirty and losing grip
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution on the cloth, then wipe clean with water and dry thoroughly.
Stitching is coming loose
For minor loose threads, carefully trim with scissors. If significant, consult a cobbler or shoe repair specialist.
