Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and hook-and-loop strap. Wear with thinner socks initially. Leather may stretch slightly with wear.
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid over-tightening the laces.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur between the insole and midsole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or placing a talc-free powder underneath.
Difficulty securing the strap
Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly before fastening the strap. Check that the strap velcro is clean and free of debris.
