Troubleshooting
Leather scuffing or marks
Gently clean the affected area with a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner may help restore the finish.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
New leather shoes can take time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially, and they should adapt to the shape of your foot.
