Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Synthetic leather, like genuine leather, can require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially, or use thick socks to gently stretch the material. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
The synthetic leather appears dull or has lost its shine.
Clean the shoes thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any surface grime. Once dry, apply a specialized synthetic leather polish or conditioner in black, then buff with a clean, soft cloth to restore their luster.
Slipping on smooth surfaces despite the TPR outsole.
Inspect the TPR outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris in the treads. Clean the treads thoroughly. If the outsole is significantly worn, consider professional resoling or replacement.
Visible scuffs or scratches on the synthetic leather.
For minor scuffs, a synthetic leather cleaner and polish can help diminish their appearance. For deeper scratches, a synthetic leather repair kit or professional intervention might be required.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your synthetic leather Derby shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the shoes with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution or a specialized synthetic leather cleaner.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Polishing: Use a synthetic leather conditioner or polish in black to restore shine and protect the material. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff to a sheen.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as this can trap moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents, oils, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic material.
