Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole can also help.
Leather or suede looking dull
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede and a damp cloth followed by a leather conditioner for the leather parts. Ensure you are using products specifically designed for these materials.
Sole traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoes are new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Wearing appropriate socks can also help alleviate pressure points.
