Troubleshooting

Canvas feels stiff initially

This is normal for new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods to break them in gradually. Avoid excessive bending or flexing until they soften.

Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. For enhanced grip on very smooth surfaces, consider using a cleaning solution designed for rubber soles.

Color transfer from overlays

In rare cases, darker colored overlays might transfer onto lighter socks, especially when wet. This is a characteristic of some dyed materials. Ensure shoes are dry before extended wear with light-colored socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit comfortably before engaging in any strenuous activity.

Compatibility:

  • Skateboarding: Compatible with most skateboards due to the standard design of the outsole and board feel.
  • Lacing: Standard lacing system allows for customizable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques for personal preference or additional support.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn stains on the canvas, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Sole Cleaning: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a brush and water. For the translucent blue outsole, avoid abrasive cleaners that might scratch the surface.
  • Drying: Air dry the sneakers naturally. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sun exposure, which can damage the materials.
