Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty maintaining white colour
Use a specialized leather cleaner for white trainers and avoid wearing them in muddy or adverse weather conditions.
Laces coming untied during wear
Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for a more secure hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature leather components, it is essential to keep them clean to prevent premature wear. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for the leather upper, avoiding harsh chemicals that could dull the high-gloss finish. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure you use the lace-up fastening to achieve a secure, customized fit before walking. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent the material from warping or discolouring.
