Troubleshooting

Patent leather shows creases or scuffs.

Minor creases may naturally occur with wear. For scuffs, try a specialized patent leather cleaner. Avoid sharp impacts and store properly to minimize creasing.

Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. The herringbone pattern provides grip on most surfaces, but excessive wear or smoothness can impact traction.

Discoloration of the patent leather.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, which can cause patent leather to yellow or degrade. Store in a cool, dark place.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt from the patent leather. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.
  2. Shine Maintenance: For added shine, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a very small amount of petroleum jelly can be gently applied and buffed with a soft cloth.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent yellowing or damage to the patent leather. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
