Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or creased

Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material moisturized and prevent excessive creasing. Buff gently with a soft cloth.

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consider a suede eraser.

Sole is dirty or scuffed

Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuff marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective.

Unusual noise when walking

Ensure laces are tied correctly and not overly tight. Check for any debris trapped in the sole or between shoe components.
