Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with soft leather. To minimize creasing, ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber sole offers good traction but may perform differently on very wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. Consider using a waterproofing spray designed for leather and rubber.
Cream 3-Stripes appear dirty
Gently clean the cream stripes with a slightly damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Test any cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
