Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip
Ensure laces are tied securely using a standard knot. If the laces themselves are slippery, consider replacing them with cotton or textured laces.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to rehydrate the material. For scuffs, use a matching color leather balm or polish, buffing gently.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction but can still be slippery on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. For significantly slippery conditions, consider walking more cautiously.
