Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming dirty quickly
Apply a protective spray designed for canvas shoes to help repel dirt and stains. Clean regularly with mild soap and water.
Soles losing grip
Ensure the rubber soles are clean of mud or debris. For worn soles, consider adding a thin layer of tread repair compound if available and appropriate for the material.
Discomfort during long wear
