Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight initially.
New canvas shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to the foot.
Dirt marks on the black fabric.
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Soles are dirty.
Use a damp cloth or a rubber eraser to clean the rubber parts of the sole. For the bottom tread, a stiff brush can help remove embedded dirt.
