Troubleshooting
Shoes appear dirty or discolored
Regularly clean canvas with mild soap and water, and use a suede brush for suede areas. For tough stains, consider specialized cleaners or a diluted bleach solution on canvas (test first).
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear them for short periods over a few days to allow the padded collars and materials to break in and conform to your foot.
Laces come untied frequently
Ensure you are tying them with a secure knot, such as a double knot. Check laces for wear and replace if frayed.
Reduced grip on soles
Clean the waffle outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt and debris that can reduce traction. Inspect for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, consider replacement.
