Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent or a specialized sole cleaner. A soft brush can help remove embedded dirt.

'Preloved Brown' describes the muted, earthy, and slightly worn-in aesthetic of the brown color used on the upper.
Is this a unisex model?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period of a few wears. Wear with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists after breaking in, consider if the size is correct for your foot.
Gum sole showing dirt easily
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap or a specialized sole cleaner. Store properly to prevent excessive dust accumulation.

Natural creasing is expected with leather. To minimize deep creases, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-flexing the shoe.
