Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Store with shoe trees to maintain shape. Minimize flexing when not wearing.

Scuff marks on patent overlay

Use a specialized patent leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For deeper marks, professional cleaning might be necessary.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Slight discoloration from wear

A professional shoe restoration service may be able to restore color. Regular cleaning and conditioning can help prevent this.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust. For stubborn marks on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Patent Leather: Clean patent overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
