Troubleshooting
Dirt accumulation on rubber parts
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Material creasing
Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather components. To minimize, avoid over-stuffing shoes when storing and consider using shoe trees.
Fraying of raw edges on tongue
The raw edges are a design feature. Avoid snagging them on rough surfaces. Minor fraying is part of the intended aesthetic; significant damage may be irreversible.
