Troubleshooting

Uneven fit or tightness in certain areas

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe and then re-tightened evenly. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot.

Suede accents becoming dirty or matted

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently clean the affected areas. Avoid using water on suede.

Leather creasing excessively

This is a natural part of leather wear. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress on the creases. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain shape.

Midsole showing scuffs or discoloration

Use a damp cloth or a mild cleaning solution designed for shoe soles to gently clean the midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.
  • Suede Care: For the suede accents, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid water on suede areas.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
  • Midsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
  • Water Protection: While leather offers some protection, it is advisable to avoid excessive exposure to heavy rain or water, especially to the suede parts. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede, applying it according to product instructions.
