Troubleshooting

Scuffs on leather or elephant print

Gently clean with a damp cloth for leather. Use a soft brush or melamine eraser for elephant print. For stubborn marks on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Shoes losing shape

Use shoe trees made of cedar wood or foam to maintain the shoe's structure when not being worn. Ensure proper storage away from heat and moisture.

Discoloration from moisture

Avoid wearing the shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
