Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the laces are not obstructing the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after prolonged wear.
Adjust the lacing for a more personalized fit. Ensure you have the correct size. The die-cut EVA insole offers cushioning, but if you require additional support, consider using aftermarket insoles.
Dirt or stains on the white canvas.
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. For tougher stains, a specialized textile cleaner can be used, but always test on a hidden area first. Allow to air dry naturally.
Laces fraying or breaking.
Replace the laces with a new pair of a similar length and material. Ensure the eyelets are smooth to prevent premature wear on new laces.
