Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly tight lacing.

Discoloration of white accents

Clean white areas promptly with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner. Avoid contact with dark or dyed materials that could transfer color.

Elephant print texture wearing down

Avoid excessive scuffing or rubbing against rough surfaces. Clean gently with a soft brush to maintain texture.

Sole becoming stiff over time

Ensure the shoes are stored in a moderate environment and not exposed to extreme temperatures or excessive dryness.
