How should I clean the blue leather parts?

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or check if the laces are too tight.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper fit, use shoe trees when storing, and avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration of white sole

White rubber soles can pick up dirt easily. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. For persistent marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Tongue shifting

Ensure the laces are threaded through the tongue's lace loop if available, or try lacing the shoes tighter to keep the tongue centered.
