Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole and re-inserting it, or place a small piece of tissue or powder under the insole.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather or nubuck. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Discoloration of nubuck
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate nubuck cleaners and store properly.
Sole separation
If minor separation occurs, a strong adhesive designed for footwear can be used for repair. For significant separation, professional repair might be needed.

Compatibility:
This sneaker is designed for adult male footwear sizing and is compatible with standard sock wear. It is not specifically designed for high-intensity athletic performance but is suitable for casual wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Nubuck Upper: Use a soft brush or a dedicated nubuck cleaner to gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid using water directly on the nubuck, as it can stain or alter the texture. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used with caution, followed by immediate drying.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution with a soft brush to clean the rubber and foam components. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's shape.
