Troubleshooting
Scuffs or dirt on white leather
Use a soft, damp cloth for light cleaning. For stubborn marks, apply a small amount of leather cleaner with a soft cloth, then wipe clean. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Creasing on the leather
Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
Discoloration of silver hardware
The silver hardware is generally durable. If tarnishing occurs, a jewelry polishing cloth can be used carefully to restore shine.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure insoles are properly seated. A small amount of powder (like baby powder) under the insole might help, but use sparingly.

- Cleaning Mudguards: The pebbled leather mudguard can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the texture.
- Cleaning Midsole and Outsole: Use a cleaning solution specifically designed for sneakers or a mixture of mild soap and water. An old toothbrush can be helpful for scrubbing.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand-wash them separately in warm, soapy water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-inserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
