Full details

A potential caveat is that the leather upper may require specific care to maintain its appearance.

It's completed by a durable dark brown gum sole, offering both support and timeless appeal.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Wear the shoes with thin socks initially. Leather will stretch slightly over time. Consider using a shoe stretcher if needed.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions.

White leather has scuff marks

Try gently buffing the scuff with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather cleaner or a magic eraser (used very gently) might help.

Gum sole is discolored

Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution or a pencil eraser can be effective. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
