Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially.
Wear your shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time. Use shoe stretchers or wear thick socks to help break them in. Consider using Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam to soften the material.
Scratches or scuffs appear on the surface.
Use a specialized synthetic or vinyl shoe polish to buff out minor scratches. For deeper scuffs, consult a shoe repair professional.
