With proper care, the beige color should remain consistent. However, like all natural materials, prolonged sun exposure can cause slight fading over time.

Use a leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for beige leather. For deeper scratches, a matching colored shoe polish might be necessary.

Ensure the soles are clean. If the issue persists, a cobbler can sometimes add a thin rubber sole protector for enhanced grip.
