Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
Faux leather can be stiff initially. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to help break them in gradually. Avoid excessive bending or creasing.
Scuffs on the faux leather
For minor scuffs, try wiping gently with a damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, a specialized faux leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild detergent and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
Treaded outsole accumulating dirt
Use an old toothbrush or a stiff brush to dislodge dirt from the deep treads. A damp cloth can then be used for final cleaning. Ensure all dirt is removed to maintain grip.
