FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for formal occasions?
While these are high-fashion sneakers, their premium materials and design lend themselves more to smart-casual or elevated street-style looks rather than formal events.
How do I clean the suede part of the sneakers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of rubber, providing durability and traction.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede and leather sneakers in wet conditions as they can be easily damaged by water and stains. Always treat with a waterproofing spray for protection.
What is included with the purchase?
The sneakers come with a dust bag, the original shoe box, and an extra set of laces.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the size guide and consider that leather shoes may stretch slightly over time. The lace-up closure allows for adjustability.

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser or consult a professional cleaner.
Leather creases or scuffs
Minor creases may naturally develop with wear. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a matching color shoe cream if available. Professional repair might be needed for deep damage.
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to break in and mold to your feet. Using a shoe tree can also help maintain shape and ease stiffness.
Laces fraying
Replace frayed laces with the extra pair provided. If more replacements are needed, ensure you use laces of a similar material and length.
