Troubleshooting

Laces becoming dirty

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

Tartan fabric showing wear

For minor scuffs, use a soft brush. For more significant wear, consider professional sneaker restoration.

Discoloration from sun exposure

Avoid storing the shoes in direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, it is difficult to reverse without professional treatment.
