Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather or suede

Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and use shoe trees for storage.

Discoloration of translucent outsole

Exposure to certain chemicals or prolonged direct sunlight can cause yellowing. Clean gently and store away from direct light.

Material wear on overlays

Avoid abrasive contact. If faux horsehair becomes matted, try a gentle brushing. For leather, condition periodically.
