Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased
Gently steam the creased area from a distance, or use a cool iron on a silk setting with a protective cloth. Avoid direct contact with the iron. Stuffing the shoe with tissue paper can also help maintain shape.
Gold metallic accents tarnishing
Gently wipe with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
Sole appears dirty
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the sole only, avoiding the silk upper.
