Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Traction feels less effective on wet surfaces

While G-TEK offers good grip, always exercise caution on excessively wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and consider using supportive insoles if needed. Break-in periods may vary for leather footwear.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile black colorway that pairs well with various outfits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sneakers require no initial setup. They are designed for direct wear. Compatibility is with casual and streetwear attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Areas: If applicable, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore texture. Avoid using water on these areas.
  3. Sole Cleaning: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  4. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  5. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
