The exterior is primarily composed of durable leather.
How do I clean the cream-colored soles?

Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after repeated wear
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for sneakers to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing appears on the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use sneaker shields or shoe trees when not wearing to minimize deep creases.
Velcro strap loses grip
Use a soft brush or piece of tape to remove lint and debris from the hook-and-loop fasteners to restore stickiness.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the Velcro strap is secured comfortably—it should feel snug but not restrictive. When pairing these trainers, they work exceptionally well with denim or relaxed-fit trousers given their chunky silhouette. To care for your shoes, wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can damage the leather and the adhesive. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
