Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, consider using shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Squeaking sound

Squeaking can sometimes occur from friction within the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole.

Dirt accumulation on white midsole/orange outsole

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner to gently scrub the rubber sole. A magic eraser can also be effective on scuffs.

Color transfer from orange overlays

On rare occasions, especially when new or wet, color transfer can occur. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially in damp conditions. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing with light clothing.
