Troubleshooting

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner and conditioner. For deeper scuffs, a color-matched leather balm might be necessary.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For yellowing, a specialized leather whitener can be used carefully. Protect from prolonged sun exposure.

Sole becoming dirty

Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously.

Laces getting dirty

Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
