Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if a break-in period is needed for the leather to adapt to your foot.
Metallic finish appears scuffed
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant marks, a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes might be required, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists on certain surfaces, the outsole may be worn down and could require professional assessment or replacement if feasible.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is normal with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shoe's shape.
