Troubleshooting
Canvas feels stiff upon first wear.
This is normal for heavy gauge canvas. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help speed up the process.
Minor scuffs or marks on the canvas.
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution to gently clean the affected area. Test on an inconspicuous spot first.
Sole appears dirty.
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a shoe cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles, applying it carefully.
