Troubleshooting

Laces feel stiff or difficult to tie

Waxed cotton laces can sometimes be stiff. Try gently softening them with a hair dryer on a low setting or wearing them to allow them to conform to your preferred tying method.

Discoloration on the white toe cap

Wipe the toe cap with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure to rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Slightly tight fit initially

The soft canvas interior will break in with wear. Try wearing the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet.

Scuff marks on waxed cotton upper

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a clean, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, a slightly damp cloth may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
