The upper of these shoes is made from leather, contributing to their premium feel and durability.

Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather
Leather naturally creases with wear. This is normal and indicates the shoes are being used. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and use shoe trees when not in use.
Color transfer from red accents
In rare cases, especially when new and wet, the red accents might transfer color. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or exposing to excessive moisture. If transfer occurs, clean affected areas gently with a suitable cleaner.
Discomfort during initial wear
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Ensure you have the correct size; if still uncomfortable, consider professional stretching.
