Troubleshooting
Canvas looks dirty or stained
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner and a soft brush. Always spot test first.
Rubber sole has scuff marks
Try using a magic eraser or a rubber sole cleaner with a cloth to gently remove marks. For deep scuffs, professional cleaning might be considered.
Color transfer from black lettering
If there's minor transfer, try cleaning the affected white area with a damp cloth. For significant transfer, this may be a manufacturing defect or a result of extensive wear under certain conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for adults and can be worn by any gender. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits, from jeans and shorts to casual dresses.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt from the canvas. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the printed "CDG" lettering.
- Cleaning the Soles: A rubber sole cleaner or a damp cloth can be used to clean the white midsole and black outsole. For stubborn marks on the white sole, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
