How should I store them?

Troubleshooting
Strap buckle feels loose
Check the prong insertion point and ensure the buckle is fully seated. If the leather hole has stretched, a leather specialist can reinforce it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Rockstud pumps remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust after every wear. Because the studs are lacquered, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish; a gentle leather conditioner is recommended for the upper. Store the shoes in their original dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. Check the buckle hardware periodically to ensure the straps remain secure, and consider having a professional cobbler apply a rubber sole protector if you intend to wear them on abrasive outdoor surfaces.
