Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or uncomfortable
Wear the loafers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using a leather conditioner to soften the material.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a leather cleaner or polish specifically designed for black leather to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional cobbler.
