Troubleshooting

Material seems stiff or uncomfortable initially

This is common with new leather products. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.

Dirt or stains on the leather or mesh

For leather, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, wiping gently. For mesh or suede accents, use a soft brush or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Soles appear dirty or scuffed

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a soft brush with diluted soap can be effective. Ensure to clean the entire sole for a consistent look.
