How do I clean the unique ceramic-inspired finishes?

Where can I find different colorways and sizes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tightened.
Discoloration on matte finishes
Use a specialized cleaner for suede or matte finishes, or a very lightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces to see if the noise persists. Ensure insoles are properly seated.
Mesh material shows wear quickly
Avoid abrasive activities or environments that could snag or tear the mesh. Clean gently as per care instructions.
