Full details

Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely before re-inserting.
Slight color variation from product photos
This is expected due to the unique 'acid wash' dyeing process. Each pair is intentionally unique.
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural with leather footwear and indicates wear. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use.

- Wearability: Designed for general casual wear. Not intended for intense athletic activities.
Care:
To maintain the unique 'acid wash' appearance and the integrity of the leather:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher spots, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or harsh solvents, as these can damage the leather and the unique dye pattern.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and sunlight, which can fade the colors over time.
