Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. Trying them on with thin socks can also help stretch the canvas slightly.
Ribbon heel strap feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the ribbon by re-tying it to a more comfortable level. Ensure it provides a secure fit without cutting off circulation.
Jute sole appears dirty.
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove dust and light dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used very carefully, ensuring the jute does not become saturated.
Canvas upper shows minor scuffs.
Attempt to gently wipe the scuff with a slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used, following product instructions.
