Creasing on patent leather

Minor creasing is natural with wear. Avoid bending the shoe excessively when walking. Storing with shoe trees can help maintain shape.

Scuff marks on metallic gold accents

Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the finish.

Soles appear dirty

Use a damp cloth or a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for rubber soles. A soft brush can help remove stubborn dirt.

Replace laces with new ones. Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique and avoiding unnecessary friction.
