Troubleshooting

Laces loosening during wear

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. If persistent, consider replacing laces with a grippier material or double-looping them.

Discomfort after initial wear

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Adjust lacing to reduce pressure points. Ensure the correct size is being worn.

Leather showing scuffs or marks

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff out minor marks. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair kit may be necessary.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the tread provides grip, caution is advised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris for optimal traction.

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure apparel. They are suitable for walking, light activities, and daily wear.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather sneakers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner, applying it sparingly with a clean cloth.
  2. Drying: If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources, which can damage the leather.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to help repel water and stains, especially for the white leather components.
