Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the metallic finish
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For more persistent marks, try a specialized leather cleaner for metallic finishes, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Uneven wear on the sole
