Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Natural creasing occurs with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces.
Suede becoming matted or stained
Use a suede brush regularly to keep the nap lifted. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede spray.
Gum sole discoloration
Clean the sole with a damp cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing.
Laces becoming worn
Replace worn laces with standard trainer laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to avoid stress on eyelets.
