FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion lifestyle shoes inspired by martial arts and do not have the cushioning or support required for running.
How do I maintain the leather material?
Wipe regularly with a soft cloth and use leather-specific conditioners to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Does the shoe run true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing, but because of the slim, ballet-inspired fit, some users prefer a slightly thinner sock for comfort.
What is the primary material?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather, providing both durability and a premium aesthetic.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
The low-profile nature of this shoe means there is limited room for bulky aftermarket insoles, though thin inserts may fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone easily
Try a double knot, or utilize the provided alternative lace sets which may have different friction characteristics.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a neutral cream polish to buff out light scuffs gently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: The shoes are designed to fit securely; try them on with thin socks to maintain the intended silhouette.
- Lacing: Swap the provided lace sets based on your desired look. Always ensure laces are threaded evenly to prevent uneven pressure across the top of the foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Since the upper is leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the animal pattern.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading over time.
