The sneakers feature a premium mix of tumbled leather, dark green faux horsehair overlays, and brown and orange suede mudguards.

How should I clean the faux horsehair on the sneakers?

What does the embroidery on the heel represent?

The embroidery depicts a Wong-Ang Duck, referencing the traditional Korean custom of gifting carved wooden ducks to newlyweds.

Can I wear these for sports or athletic activities?

What is the significance of the wooden lace lock?

Troubleshooting

Material discoloration or fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Store properly when not in use.

Suede or faux horsehair texture becoming matted

Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and texture. Brush gently in the direction of the material.

Wooden lace lock damage

Handle the lace lock with care. If damaged, it may be difficult to replace due to its custom nature. Consider repair options or wearing without it.
