Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is straightforward, as they are standard footwear designed for adult foot sizes.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and canvas upper, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and affect the wear-away effect.
- Suede/Canvas Care: If the red canvas sections get dirty, a slightly damp cloth or a soft brush can be used. For stubborn dirt on canvas, a specialized sneaker cleaner for fabric may be appropriate, used sparingly.
- Sole Cleaning: The rubber sole can be cleaned with mild soap and water using a brush or cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause materials to warp or fade.
- Lining: The tartan plaid lining can be spot cleaned with a damp cloth if necessary.
- Wear-Away Feature: To encourage the wear-away effect, regular wear is recommended. Avoid excessive scrubbing of the white leather if you wish to see the gold layer emerge.
