For the beige and cream colors, use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water to maintain the color integrity.

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. Consider wearing them with thinner socks if needed.
Slight discomfort after initial wear
This can be normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being restrictive.
Dirt or stains on the textile upper
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or stones. Clean the tread with a brush or damp cloth.
