Troubleshooting

Dirt on corduroy material

Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For tougher spots, use a damp cloth with a very small amount of mild soap, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.

Creasing on the leather overlays

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. Shoe trees can help maintain shape.
