Troubleshooting
Leather appears creased or scuffed.
For minor creases, stuff the shoes with paper to help maintain shape. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a color-matched polish if available.
Gum sole is dirty and losing its color.
Gently clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A melamine foam eraser can also be effective for removing marks.
Interior feels uncomfortable or provides poor support.
Consider using insoles or orthotic inserts designed for casual footwear. Ensure the size is correct, as an improper fit can lead to discomfort.
Suede sections look matted or stained.
Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended.
