How should I clean the floral pattern?

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to preserve the pattern's integrity.

What does 'Premium' refer to in the product name?

Troubleshooting

Scuffs or marks on the canvas

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner may be effective.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Ensure the waffle outsole is free from debris or mud. Clean with a damp cloth and brush if necessary.
