Troubleshooting
Sizing is incorrect
Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and compare it with your foot measurements. If the shoes are a gift, consult the recipient for their preferred size. Given the limited nature, exchanges may be difficult.
Silk upper appears creased
Minor creasing can occur with wear. Avoid over-stuffing the shoes when storing. For persistent creases, consider professional shoe care services specializing in delicate materials.
Gold accents are tarnishing
Gently wipe the gold metallic accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds which can damage the finish.
Sole or shell toe scuffed
Minor scuffs on the rubber sole and toe can often be cleaned with a magic eraser or a damp cloth. For significant damage, professional restoration may be an option.
