Troubleshooting

Scuffs on the silver finish

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, consider a leather conditioner specifically designed for metallic leathers, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Dirt on the gum sole

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the gum sole. For tougher grime, a specialized sneaker sole cleaner can be effective.

Laces appear dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water, then air dry completely before re-lacing.

Discomfort during initial wear

New leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure correct sizing for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For care, it is recommended to wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and the metallic coating. The gum sole can be cleaned with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the sole, a specialized rubber sole cleaner may be used sparingly. It's advisable to store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their color and material integrity. Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for metallic finishes to add an extra layer of defense against the elements.
