Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the white leather

Yellowing of the translucent sole
While difficult to reverse, you can slow the process by keeping shoes in a dark, dry container with silica gel packets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this shoe uses a mix of sage green and white leather, it is important to avoid harsh cleaners. Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild leather-safe cleaning solution to remove surface dust. For the white leather overlays, a specialized leather cleaner will help prevent yellowing. To maintain the look of the translucent outsole, ensure you store the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure is the primary cause of oxidation in clear rubber. Ensure you select your correct UK size, as the leather construction provides a firm, structured fit that does not stretch significantly over time.
