FAQs

It features a premium teal tumbled leather upper, dark grey faux horsehair overlays, and light grey suede mudguards. The outsole is icy and semi-translucent.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather or suede

This is natural wear for leather and suede. To minimize, use shoe trees when storing and avoid excessive bending during wear.

Discoloration of the icy outsole

The translucent outsole can naturally yellow over time due to oxidation. This is a common characteristic and can be slowed by keeping them away from prolonged UV exposure.

Faux horsehair becoming matted

Gently brush the material with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the fibers to restore its texture.

General dirt or scuffs

Clean immediately with a damp cloth and appropriate footwear cleaner. For stubborn marks on the midsole, a magic eraser can be used with caution.
