Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the laces to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if needed. If persistent, verify you have the correct size for your foot.

Canvas appears dirty or stained

Spot clean the canvas upper with a mixture of mild soap and cool water using a soft brush or cloth. Gently blot the area and allow to air dry completely.

Traction seems reduced

Inspect the Waffle Outsole for dirt, mud, or debris that might be caked into the tread. Clean the sole with a stiff brush and water to restore optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care

  1. Cleaning: For canvas, gently spot clean with a mild soap (like dish soap) diluted in cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub affected areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
