FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the R71 features a breathable mesh upper which allows water to pass through. They are not recommended for rainy conditions.
Can I use these for running?
The R71 is designed for lifestyle and casual use and does not contain the cushioning or support technologies required for running.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the color and integrity of the leather and mesh materials.
Is the R71 gender-specific?
This particular variant is designed for women, though the R71 series includes various unisex and male-specific releases.
Does the material stretch over time?
The leather overlays may soften and conform slightly to your foot, but the mesh structure is designed to retain its shape.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming undone
Ensure you are using a double knot or replacing them with higher-friction laces if necessary.
Difficulty cleaning mesh areas
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, dabbing gently rather than scrubbing aggressively to avoid damaging the fibers.
Stiffness when brand new
Leather components often require a brief break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to soften.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your R71 shoes maintain their appearance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather areas regularly. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from warping or cracking. When wearing, ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets to distribute tension evenly across the foot for maximum comfort. These shoes are compatible with standard athletic or casual socks; consider wearing moisture-wicking materials to complement the breathable nature of the upper.
