Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
The canvas material may stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing thinner socks initially. If the problem persists, consider going up half a size or using a shoe stretcher.
Shoes are stained.
Try spot-cleaning the stained area with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. For stubborn stains, you can use a stain remover specifically designed for canvas.
