The leather upper offers some natural resistance to light moisture. However, for heavier rain, it is advisable to apply a waterproof spray specifically designed for leather to protect the material and prevent water damage. Always allow wet shoes to air dry naturally.

For the white midsoles and accents, a soft brush with a solution of mild soap and water can be effective. Baking soda mixed with a little water to form a paste can also work well for stubborn marks. For the laces, remove them and hand wash with soap and water.

To prevent odors, allow your shoes to air out after each wear. Remove the insoles occasionally to let them dry. You can also use shoe deodorizers, cedar shoe trees, or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and odors.

Yes, the gum light brown rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides good traction on various surfaces, contributing to the overall longevity of the sneaker for daily wear.

While some creasing is natural for leather, you can minimize it by using shoe trees when storing your sneakers. Avoid tying laces too tightly, which can exacerbate creasing. Specialized crease protectors can also be inserted into the toe box.

The leather likely needs conditioning. Clean the shoes thoroughly, then apply a good quality leather conditioner. This will restore moisture and suppleness to the material.

For light scuffs, use a leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently buff the area. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm or shoe polish in a matching black color may be necessary. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Often, a squeak comes from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, check if the outsole is separating, though this is less common.
