Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the ankle area, and try them on again. If still tight, consider wearing them with slightly thicker socks for a brief period to stretch them gently. Ensure you have selected the correct size.
Suede appears dirty or stained
Allow the suede to dry completely. Use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede eraser, gently rubbing the affected area. For tougher stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products.
Canvas material looks dull
Spot clean the canvas with a cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub away dirt. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing.
Waffle sole is dirty
Use a soft brush or an old toothbrush with a small amount of mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
