Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather/suede

Normal wear and tear can cause creasing. Using shoe trees when not in use can help minimize severe creasing. Some creases add character to the shoe.

Color transfer from darker materials

To minimize color transfer, especially from denim or darker suede, consider applying a protective spray designed for footwear. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks until the shoe is broken in.

Dirt or stains on mixed materials

Address stains immediately. Use specific cleaners for each material (e.g., suede cleaner for suede, leather cleaner for leather). A magic eraser can sometimes be used carefully on rubber soles.
