Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage. Consider using crease protectors if preferred.
Discoloration of gold accents
The gold accents are part of the design and may show wear over time. Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals and excessive rubbing on these areas. Gentle wiping with a dry cloth is recommended.
Squeaking sound from sole
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or friction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe may help if the sound persists.
Material scuffs or scratches
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches on leather, a leather repair kit or professional restoration may be necessary.
