Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Discoloration on leather parts
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear and apply sparingly with a soft cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe or with the floor. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the noise persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe, under the insole.
Gum outsole appearing sticky
Ensure the shoes are stored away from excessive heat. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid contact with oily substances.
