Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid excessive flexing and store with shoe trees. For significant creasing, try stuffing the shoe and using a hairdryer on a low setting while shaping.
Discoloration of white leather
Keep out of direct sunlight when storing. Clean gently with a leather cleaner appropriate for white leather. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Elephant print scuffing
The elephant print can be delicate. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaning agents that could damage the texture.
