Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner or moisturizer specifically designed for footwear. Buff lightly with a clean, soft cloth.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a clean, soft cloth. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or polish in a matching color can help conceal the mark. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking sound from the sole
Sometimes, a squeak can come from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If it's the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short periods around the house. Thicker socks can also help stretch the leather slightly. If discomfort persists, consider shoe stretchers or professional stretching services.
Sole appears discolored or excessively dirty
Use a specialized sole cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and a small amount of water to create a paste. Apply with a brush, scrub gently, and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid letting the paste dry on the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup

Care
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap (specifically formulated for leather, if possible) to gently wipe down the leather surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the material. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: A soft brush or old toothbrush can be used with a mixture of mild soap and water to scrub away dirt and grime from the sole. Rinse with a damp cloth.
- Sockliner Care: The mesh sockliner can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape.
- Avoid Washing Machine: Never put leather sneakers in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the leather and structural integrity.
