FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion-forward lifestyle shoes with minimal cushioning and are not intended for running or high-impact athletic performance.
Can I replace the insoles?
While the insoles are generally integrated, you can swap them for thin, flat aftermarket liners if you require additional comfort, provided they do not affect the shoe's internal fit.
How do I clean the white accents?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or a specialized leather cleaner to gently scrub the white details without soaking the surrounding black material.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Yes, like most natural leather shoes, they will slightly stretch and mold to the unique shape of your foot with regular wear.
Can these be worn without socks?
Yes, but wearing them without socks may lead to moisture buildup; moisture-wicking no-show socks are recommended for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or keep coming undone
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the dedicated forefoot eyelets and consider a double-knot if utilizing the ankle-wrap style.
Leather feels stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the heat from your feet and natural movement to soften the leather gradually.
Outsole collecting debris
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt or pebbles from the tread patterns on the gum rubber sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the signature look, experiment with the lacing system; you can keep the laces standard for a clean finish or wrap them around the ankle for a more dramatic, ballet-influenced aesthetic. Regarding compatibility, these shoes generally fit true to size. To maintain the leather upper, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesive bonding. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring over time.
