Is the gum sole durable?

Troubleshooting
Suede appearing matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides.
Leather creasing excessively
This is a natural characteristic of leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize stress points. Using a shoe tree can help maintain shape when not in use.
Gum sole showing scuffs or marks
Minor scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive eraser. For deeper marks, specialized sole cleaners may be required.
Tonal stitching becoming loose
If stitching becomes significantly loose, it may require professional repair by a cobbler to prevent further unraveling.
