Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store with shoe trees if possible.

Discoloration of accents

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for the materials.

Suede becoming matted

Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. Brush gently in one direction.
