Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser. Avoid over-polishing, which can build up residue.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period to help them stretch slightly. If the tightness persists and is uncomfortable, consider a larger size.
Color transfer from leather
This can occur when the leather is new or wet. Ensure socks are of a suitable color. Applying a leather protectant spray can help minimize transfer.
