Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees when not in use.
Squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between rubbing points.
Traction feels reduced
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Wipe away any dirt or debris with a damp cloth. If the shoe is heavily worn, consider professional sole repair or replacement.
Difficulty lacing evenly
Ensure the tongue is centered and smooth. Adjust lacing tension gradually from the bottom up for a more uniform fit.
