Troubleshooting

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural for leather. To minimize its appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Yellow accents fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents, which can cause colors to fade over time.

Slight stiffness on first wear

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit correctly.

Compatibility: Compatible with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and track pants. Suitable for adult male wearers.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Lining and Insole: The interior can be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the shoe dries naturally away from direct heat.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush to remove debris and mud. A damp cloth can be used for general cleaning.
