Troubleshooting

Velvet material scuffs or marks easily.

Gently brush with a soft shoe brush. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and blot the affected area carefully. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous spot first.

Laces become dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash gently with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber soles are clean. For new shoes, a brief period of wear can sometimes improve grip as the sole adapts to your gait.
