How should I clean the translucent sole?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that can cause discoloration. Specialized sole cleaners can also be used.
Troubleshooting
Slight creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather wear. Store with shoe trees to maintain shape and minimize creasing.
Yellowing of translucent outsole
This can occur over time due to oxidation. Specialized sole cleaners or UV treatment may help restore clarity, but it is a common aging effect for translucent materials.
Dirt or scuffs on white leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth for gentle spot cleaning. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the midsole, avoiding stitching and leather.
Tongue material feels stiff
The 3M reflective material may feel firm initially. With wear, it will naturally soften. Avoid excessive bending or creasing.
