Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Try on with the type of socks you typically wear. Refer to sizing charts and compare with other well-fitting shoes. Note that brand-specific sizing can vary.

Creasing on leather/nubuck

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and avoid over-flexing the shoe. Gentle cleaning can help maintain appearance.

Laces feel stiff or difficult to tie

Ensure laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If laces are new, they may be stiff; gentle manipulation can soften them. Consider replacing with different lace material if preferred.
