Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.

Suede material looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For stubborn marks, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.

Leather parts show scuffs

Light scuffs on leather can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider a leather conditioner or repair product specific to shoe leather.

Color transfer from accents

If the Cork Brown accents appear to be transferring color, ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Care Instructions: Due to the mixed material construction (leather, suede, mesh), specific care is recommended to maintain their appearance and longevity:

  1. Suede and Leather: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain the nap of the suede. For leather parts, wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
  2. Mesh: Gently clean mesh areas with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Allow to air dry completely.
  3. Midsole: Wipe the midsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
  4. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash separately with mild detergent. Ensure they are fully dry before re-lacing.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading.
