Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on canvas
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for canvas can be used.
Discoloration of rubber sole
Use a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber soles. Avoid bleach, which can cause further discoloration.
Laces getting dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
