FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the vulcanized rubber. Clean them manually using a damp cloth.
Does the leather stretch?
Leather will soften and conform to your foot over time, but it does not stretch as significantly as canvas material.
Is this style unisex?
Yes, the design is categorized as unisex, suitable for both men and women based on UK sizing.
What should I use to clean the rubber toe cap?
A magic eraser or a cloth with mild dish soap works effectively to remove scuffs and dirt from the rubber portions.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The leather upper provides better water resistance than canvas, but they are not waterproof and should be dried naturally if they get wet.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften naturally to your foot shape.
Scuffs appearing on the white leather
Use a white leather eraser or a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Outsole loses its grip
Clean the bottom of the rubber soles with a stiff brush and water to remove debris that may be causing the shoes to slip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of socks, as leather does not stretch as much as canvas over time. To maintain the appearance of the white leather, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after wear to prevent dust and grime from setting into the grain. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner. Avoid machine washing these sneakers, as the heat and friction can damage the leather finish and weaken the rubber bonding. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or yellowing.
