Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, try using a leather eraser or a mild leather cleaner. For deeper marks, a professional leather cleaner or refinishing product may be necessary.
Sole separation
Minor separation can sometimes be repaired with a strong adhesive suitable for rubber and leather. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement may be required.

Care:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away debris. For tougher stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes.
