Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the outsole
Ensure you are using the correct size. Uneven wear can sometimes be related to gait. For persistent issues, consult a shoe specialist.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Creasing is natural for leather. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a leather conditioner or polish. Consistent cleaning and conditioning will help maintain the leather's appearance.
Discoloration of yellow accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean yellow accents gently with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals.

Care Instructions:

- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with soap and water, then air dry.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
