Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
The washed canvas may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Canvas appears discolored after cleaning.
Ensure you are using mild soap and water and testing cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.
While the rubber outsole provides good traction, all rubber soles can be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution.
Laces fray or break.
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. Consider waxed laces for increased durability.
