Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Ensure you have ordered the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider the natural break-in period for leather shoes. Consult size charts for accurate measurements.

Color transfer from purple accents

This can occur with new or damp shoes. Allow the shoes to air dry completely. Avoid wearing with light-colored socks if moisture is present. If transfer occurs on other items, use a fabric stain remover.

Creasing on leather upper

Creasing is natural with leather footwear. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when storing and avoid overly flexing the shoe during wear.

Elephant print appears worn

Gently clean the area with a damp cloth. For significant wear, professional restoration services might be an option, but this is uncommon for typical use.

  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the midsole and outsole with a mild soap and water solution to remove grime.
  4. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation and material degradation.
