Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Linen can sometimes be stiff initially. Wear them with thick socks around the house for a short period to help them stretch slightly to your foot shape. Avoid extreme stretching methods.
Sole becoming detached
For minor separations, a strong adhesive suitable for rubber and canvas may be used. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
Discoloration of linen
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading. Clean stains promptly with a mild solution as per care instructions.
