Troubleshooting
Leather creasing or scuffing
Minor creases are natural with wear. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or polish matching the shoe's color. Deep creases are difficult to remove completely.
Discoloration of purple accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap only if necessary.
Elephant print appearing worn
Clean the elephant print gently with a soft brush or cloth. A leather protector can help maintain its texture and appearance.
Sizing feels slightly off
Allow time for the leather to break in and conform to your foot. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consider thicker or thinner socks.

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.

- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray to help repel water and stains, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
