Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Use a shoe tree to help maintain the shape when not in use. Avoid overly tight lacing, which can exacerbate creasing.
Suede or leather stains
Address stains immediately with a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.
Sole separation
Minor separation can sometimes be repaired with a strong adhesive suitable for rubber and leather. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Store in a dark place when not in use.
