Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or scuffed

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner designed for black and metallic leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Creases forming on the toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape. Avoid activities that repeatedly bend the toe box excessively.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new sneakers. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction.

Dirt and grime on the white midsole

Clean the midsole using a soft brush and a solution of mild soap and water. A magic eraser can also be effective for tough marks, but use gently.
