What year was this shoe released?

How do I clean the blue leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild soap and water solution can be applied sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Light-up tongue is not working.

The light-up feature is not replaceable or rechargeable and may not function. Unfortunately, there is no user-serviceable solution for this issue.

Scuffs or dirt on the blue leather.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap with water and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Creasing on the upper.

Creasing is a natural sign of wear on leather shoes. To minimize its appearance, use shoe trees for storage and avoid over-tightening laces.

Rainbow stitching appears frayed.

Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid snagging the stitching during wear.
