Troubleshooting
Discoloration on plush upper
Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure thorough air drying.
Creasing on leather heel tab
Leather creasing is natural. To minimize, ensure proper storage. If significant, a leather conditioner may help soften the material, but avoid applying directly to the plush upper.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent. Alternatively, they can be soaked in a soapy water solution and then rinsed. Air dry completely before re-lacing.
