Troubleshooting

Scuffs on leather upper

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a specialized shoe eraser. Consider a leather conditioner afterward.

Traction seems reduced

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can accumulate in the grooves. Wipe down the outsole with a damp cloth.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is natural with wear on leather shoes. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Holographic "eye" appears dull

Ensure the holographic element is clean. Wipe gently with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture on this specific area.
