Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help minimize deep set lines.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
The laces provided are standard cotton-blend; if they frequently untie, try a double-knot or consider swapping for textured performance laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Out of the box, these shoes are ready for immediate wear. To ensure the longevity of the White and Gentry Purple leather, avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. If the surface becomes dirty, use a soft, damp cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to gently wipe the area. Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple dye or white leather from fading over time. When not in use, keep the original packaging to help maintain the shape of the heel collar.
