Troubleshooting

Slight crease marks appearing on leather or suede.

Creasing is natural with leather and suede. For minor creases, you can try stuffing the shoes when not in use. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.

Dirt or scuff marks on the upper.

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher marks on suede, use a specialized suede eraser. For leather, a mild soap solution can be used carefully.

Laces become dirty or frayed.

Laces can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and air-dried. If frayed, they can be replaced with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color.

Holographic eye losing its sheen.

Avoid exposing the holographic element to harsh chemicals or excessive direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Clean gently with a dry, soft cloth if necessary.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, focusing on affected areas. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Materials: Leather and suede require specific care. Use a suede eraser for suede marks and a leather conditioner for the leather parts to maintain their appearance and prevent cracking.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape during drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect from dust and sunlight.
