Troubleshooting
Canvas appears discolored after cleaning
Ensure you used a mild soap solution and avoided harsh chemicals. If the issue persists, try a specialized canvas cleaner following its instructions.
Slightly tight fit
Canvas trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. You can also try wearing thicker socks around the house to gently stretch the material.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
The rubber sole provides good grip, but like most trainers, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
