Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel too tight or stiff.
The smooth calfskin leather will naturally soften with wear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.
White sole is getting dirty.
Clean the sole regularly with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the rubber.
Leather shows minor scuffs or marks.
For light marks, try wiping gently with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly according to product instructions.
Laces become dirty or worn.
Hand wash the laces with mild detergent and water, then allow them to air dry completely. If laces are significantly worn, consider replacing them with the additional set provided or a similar style.
