Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a short period to allow the canvas to stretch slightly. Alternatively, consider professional shoe stretching services if discomfort persists.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
The vulcanised rubber sole offers grip on dry surfaces. On wet surfaces, caution is advised. Ensure the soles are clean; mud or debris can reduce traction.
Discoloration of canvas
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized canvas shoe cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace laces when they show signs of wear. Standard shoelaces can be purchased from most shoe stores or online retailers.
