Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for your type of leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff with a soft cloth.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a matching color polish. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be necessary.
Unusual odor inside the shoe
Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are aired out properly between wears.
Slight stiffness during initial wear
Wear the loafers for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
