Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly flexing the shoe during wear. Ensure proper fit to avoid excessive strain.

Translucent outsole appears yellowed or dull

Attempt to clean with a specialized shoe cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water. For tougher yellowing, a diluted solution of hydrogen peroxide applied with a cotton swab and exposed to UV light (sunlight) can sometimes help, but use with caution and test first.

Red dye transfer from accents

This is rare but possible with initial wears, especially in wet conditions. Ensure the shoes are dry. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until several wears have occurred. If transfer occurs, clean affected areas immediately with a suitable cleaner.

Tongue reflective material losing effect

Avoid excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning on the reflective tongue. Exposure to certain chemicals can degrade the reflective coating over time.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Cleaning the Midsole: Use a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner to wipe down the midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: The translucent outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Toothpaste can sometimes be used to restore clarity to yellowed translucent soles, but test first.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed with soap and water.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Use shoe trees to maintain shape.
