Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Gum sole discoloration
Gum soles can sometimes yellow or pick up marks. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner can help. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Laces showing wear
Replace laces with new ones that match the original style and color for a fresh look. Standard flat laces are typically used.
Color transfer from stripes
Ensure the shoe is completely dry before storing. If color transfer occurs, gently clean the affected area with a mild leather cleaner.
