How do I clean the floral jacquard and embroidery?
Gently spot clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material or using abrasive cleaners.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The rubber outsole features a zig-zag tread pattern designed to provide nimble grip and stability on various surfaces.
Can these shoes be worn with socks?

What is the benefit of the hybrid design?

Do these shoes offer arch support?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Slight scuffing on leather
Use a leather cleaner or a specialized leather repair balm to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Loose threads on embroidery
Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors, being cautious not to cut into the fabric.
