Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased or damaged
Gently steam the creased area from a distance, then carefully smooth with a soft cloth. Avoid direct heat. For significant damage, professional shoe repair may be necessary.
Dirt or stains on the silk material
For minor dirt, use a dry, soft brush. For stains, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water and gently blot the area. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous spot first. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Color transfer from other materials
Ensure socks worn with the shoes do not have excessive dye that could transfer. If color transfer occurs on the shoe, attempt to clean gently with a slightly damp cloth, testing first.
