Color difference from online images
Color perception can vary due to lighting conditions and screen display settings. View the shoes in natural light to best assess their true color.

- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
