Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Minor creasing is normal with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize extreme creasing. Store with shoe trees if significant creasing is a concern.
Slight color transfer from grey material
This can sometimes occur with new footwear, especially in damp conditions. Ensure socks are colorfast. A protective spray might help mitigate transfer over time.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed with non-slip features, extremely wet or slick surfaces can still pose a risk. Exercise caution in such conditions.
