Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or tightness in certain areas
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe and then re-tightened evenly. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
Suede accents becoming dirty or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean the affected areas. Avoid using water on suede.
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural part of leather wear. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress on the creases. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain shape.
Midsole showing scuffs or discoloration
Use a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution designed for shoe soles to gently clean the midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.

- Midsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
