How should I clean the leopard print detail?

What is the 'exposed foam tongue' feature?
This refers to a design element where the foam material of the tongue is visible, adding a stylistic, often retro, detail to the shoe's appearance.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the size guide and try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and no pressure points on your feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks worn are too thick.
Traction feels reduced on surfaces.
Clean the outsole using a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be impacting grip. Ensure the outsole is fully dry before wearing.
Exposed foam tongue appears dirty.
Gently clean the exposed foam with a damp cloth and mild soap. Blot away excess moisture and allow to air dry.
