FAQs
What material is the upper primarily made of?

Are these suitable for athletic activities?
These are designed as lifestyle sneakers for casual wear and everyday activities, not for high-impact athletic performance.
How should I clean the denim parts?
It is recommended to spot clean the denim with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking to preserve the material's integrity and color.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally true to size, with a padded ankle collar and breathable tongue designed for comfort.
Can men and women wear these?

What is the inspiration behind this shoe?

Does the denim color fade over time?
Like most denim, the color may naturally fade slightly with wear and washing, contributing to a unique worn-in look. Follow care instructions to minimize excessive fading.
Troubleshooting
Denim color transfer onto socks or lighter clothing.
This can occur with new denim. Washing the shoes (if recommended by specific care guides for this model) or wearing darker socks can mitigate this. For this specific model, it's best to avoid washing and rely on spot cleaning.
Discomfort or rubbing at the ankle.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially. The padded ankle collar should provide comfort once the shoes are molded to your feet.
Sole separation or cracking.
This is rare with proper care. Avoid extreme temperatures and excessive moisture. If it occurs, consult a shoe repair specialist or the retailer for warranty information.
