Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For deeper cleaning, apply a specialized leather cleaner designed for embossed finishes with a soft cloth, and then wipe clean.
What is the fit like?
The shoes feature a regular fit, designed to be comfortable for most wearers. It's recommended to consult the size chart for the best fit, as individual foot shapes can vary.

How should I store these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit to minimize undue stress. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Gum sole discoloration
Gum soles can sometimes yellow with age or exposure to certain chemicals. Clean gently with mild soap and water. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Difficulty cleaning embossed pattern
Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a dedicated leather cleaner for embossed finishes. Gently work the cleaner into the pattern and wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the texture. For stains, apply a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
