Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. Ensure laces are tied correctly.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with a similar length and material. Avoid overly tight lacing, which can stress the eyelets and laces.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consider a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Poor fit or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check lacing for proper tightness.
