FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing for trainers.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the vulcanized construction.
What does the 44 DX series mean?
The DX tag signifies the Anaheim Factory collection, which uses upgraded comfort features while maintaining vintage styling.
Does the canvas stretch over time?
Canvas will stretch slightly to accommodate the shape of your foot with consistent wear.
Are they suitable for long-distance walking?
While durable, they have thin soles and minimal arch support, so they are better suited for casual wear than long-distance athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
The canvas is getting dirty quickly
Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for canvas footwear.
Shoes feel too stiff during first use
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to break in the vulcanized rubber sole gradually.
Heel slippage
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelets and tied snugly to secure the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal care, treat the canvas with a fabric protector spray before initial use to repel stains and water. If they become dirty, spot-clean the canvas using a soft brush, mild detergent, and cold water; avoid machine washing to prevent the glue in the rubber foxing from weakening. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your personal preference for tension; the low-top cut works best with no-show socks to maintain the clean, streamlined look of the silhouette.
