Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and store with shoe trees. Use specialized leather conditioners to keep the material supple.

Difficulty cleaning the sculpted foam

Use a soft brush or toothbrush with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the textured areas. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Discoloration of white leather

Protect the white leather from excessive dirt and exposure to harsh elements. Clean promptly after any soiling. Use a leather protector spray designed for white footwear.
