How should I clean the metallic gold Swoosh?
Gently wipe the Swoosh with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve its finish.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance like running?

Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended, and they should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing
Creasing is natural for leather with wear. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage. Avoid overly aggressive cleaning methods that could exacerbate creasing.
Swoosh losing its shine
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner if necessary. Ensure the shoe is completely dry before wearing.
Sole traction feels reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with soap and water to remove accumulated dirt and debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the sole is dry before use.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
