Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural result of the leather/canvas construction. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape.
Difficulty keeping the cream color clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit and soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt immediately after wear.
