Troubleshooting

Leather appears dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth, buffing gently to restore shine and suppleness. Ensure the sneakers are clean before conditioning.

Scuff marks on the leather

For light scuffs, a leather cleaner or a specialized leather eraser can be effective. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe care specialist.

Squeaking sound when walking

Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe; removing and dusting with talcum powder can help. Alternatively, the sole might be rubbing against the upper; Info needed: specific remedies for sole squeaks can vary.

Laces frequently come untied

Ensure you are using a secure knot (e.g., a double knot). Periodically replace old or worn laces if they have lost their grip.

Unpleasant odor inside the shoe

Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda (placed in a sachet) overnight to absorb odors. Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Care Instructions

Given the leather upper and leather lining, proper care is crucial to maintain the sneaker's appearance and longevity.

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains. Info needed: Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust and dirt.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks or scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Info needed: Follow specific product instructions for the leather cleaner.
  4. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the leather appears dry.
  5. Drying: If the sneakers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or washing machines, as these can damage the leather and overall construction.
