Troubleshooting
Material feels stiff initially
The silk upper may feel slightly stiff on first wear. Consistent, gentle wear will help break them in and improve flexibility over time. Avoid force or bending.
Gold accents losing shine
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or abrasive cleaning agents. Gently buff the gold accents with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine. Do not use metal polish.
Silk upper snagged or torn
Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant tears, professional repair is recommended. Avoid rough surfaces or activities that could snag the material.
Sole shows wear and tear
The serrated sole is durable but can wear with heavy use. For significant wear, consider professional sole repair if available for footwear. Regular cleaning can help maintain appearance.
