Troubleshooting

Stitching fraying

Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. For significant fraying, consult a professional sneaker restorer.

Denim appearing faded

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth rather than overwetting.

Odors inside the shoe

Remove insoles and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight.

Sole separation

For minor separation, a strong adhesive specifically designed for footwear can be used. For major issues, seek professional repair.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the denim and stitching. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fabric or embroidery.
  • Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: A damp cloth or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution can be used for the rubber components. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight, which can fade the colors. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
