Troubleshooting

Shoe feels stiff initially

Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Dirt or scuff marks on the leather

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used cautiously.

Mesh appears dirty

Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of water to clean the mesh. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the mesh.

Soles are dirty

Wipe the rubber soles with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a toothbrush and a small amount of mild soap can be effective.
