Are there other colorways or sizes available?

How should I clean the silk upper?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth sparingly for minor marks. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh cleaning agents.
Troubleshooting
Silk upper appears creased
Gently stuff the shoe with acid-free tissue paper or a shoe tree to help reshape it. Avoid ironing or applying direct heat.
Color transfer from gold accents
This is unlikely with genuine products but if observed, avoid rubbing the affected areas. Use a specialized leather cleaner for the leather components if necessary, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Lace tassel is damaged
Handle the tassel with care. For minor damage, consult a professional restorer or consider removing it if irreparable, though this will alter the unique design.
Sole feels stiff or less flexible over time
This is normal for rubber soles. Ensure the shoes are stored correctly to prevent the rubber from drying out. Gentle flexing during wear will help maintain flexibility.
