Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid overly tight lacing and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Yellowing of the midsole
Over time, especially with exposure to light, midsoles can yellow. Store shoes in their original box or a dark place. Specialized restoration products can sometimes help, but results vary.
Elephant print damage
Avoid abrasive contact. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For minor scuffs, specialized leather cleaners designed for textured materials might be used cautiously.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with standard sneaker laces of a similar length and color. Many retailers offer replacement laces.
