Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. Consider wearing them with thinner socks if the fit is still snug.
Platform feels awkward when walking
Allow a break-in period of a few wears to adjust to the platform height and feel. Practice walking on different surfaces to get accustomed to the feel.
Canvas shows scuffs or dirt marks
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used cautiously.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider using a thin, supportive insole insert, but ensure it does not make the shoe too tight.
