Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with soft leather. To minimize, avoid over-flexing the shoe, use shoe trees when not in use, and try not to wear them for activities involving excessive bending.
Discoloration of purple accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals.
Dirt on elephant print
Gently use a soft brush or a damp cloth to clean the textured elephant print. Avoid rubbing vigorously to prevent damage to the pattern.
Reduced traction on outsole
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the wear pattern is significantly uneven, it may indicate improper fit or excessive use.
