Troubleshooting

Color transfer from faux horsehair or suede

Ensure shoes are dry before wearing. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when wet. Consider using a protective spray designed for these materials.

Creasing on leather or suede

Creasing is natural with wear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing.

Dirt on the translucent outsole

Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface.
