Leather showing creases from wear

Material getting dirty

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the 204L features a leather upper, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap can be used; always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid submerging these shoes in water or machine washing, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the beige finish.
