Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and consider crease protectors.
Color transfer from purple accents
In rare cases, the purple dye might transfer. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials, especially when wet. Clean promptly if contact occurs.
Squeaking sound
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or in the tongue area.
Elephant print damage
The elephant print is a textured overlay; avoid scuffing or abrasive contact. Clean gently with a soft brush and mild cleaning solution if it gets dirty.
