FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?

Does the gold hardware fade?
The hardware is designed for durability, but it should be kept away from acidic liquids or abrasive cleaners to maintain its original luster.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry environment using cedar shoe trees to maintain shape and moisture control.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when stored and avoid excessive bending of the toes during wear.

Use a soft-bristle toothbrush and mild leather-safe soap to gently lift dirt out of the textured crevices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are crafted from premium leather, proper care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the elephant print panels and a damp cloth for the smooth leather areas. To maintain the structural integrity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black dye. When not in use, keep them with cedar shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape and prevent permanent creasing. Avoid submerging the leather in water or using harsh industrial chemicals for cleaning.
