Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Use a shoe tree or stuffing to help maintain the shoe's shape when not in use. Avoid excessive bending of the foot.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair. Keep spare laces on hand.
Dirt on white sections
Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or specialized sneaker cleaner may be used cautiously on the midsole.
