Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, loosen the laces and re-tie. For looseness, tighten the laces and ensure they are securely knotted.
Leather scuffs or marks appear.
Clean the affected area with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a black shoe polish and buff gently with a soft cloth.
Soles are leaving marks on the floor.
Ensure the sole is clean. While designed to be non-marking, excessive dirt or specific floor types could sometimes cause marks. Wipe the sole clean with a damp cloth.
Laces fray or break.
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and thickness. Ensure they are securely tied to prevent premature wear.
