FAQs
How do I clean the checkered canvas?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the canvas. Avoid excessive water. For stubborn stains, specific canvas shoe cleaners can be used sparingly.
What is the platform height?
The platform height is approximately 34 mm.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, these are casual lifestyle shoes. While they offer good grip, they are not designed for athletic performance or high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should fit snugly but comfortably without pinching. There should be a little room in the toe box, and the heel should not slip excessively when walking. Consider the platform may make them feel slightly different from standard slip-ons.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof and can be stained or damaged by excessive moisture. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Do the elastic side panels stretch out over time?
The elastic panels are designed for flexibility and ease of wear. While they may loosen slightly with extensive use, they are generally durable and maintain their function for the lifespan of the shoe.
What is the material of the shoe?
The upper is made of canvas, and the sole is made of rubber.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
This is common with new canvas shoes, especially with a platform. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to stretch and conform to your foot. Wearing thicker socks can also help break them in.
Difficulty slipping the shoe on.
Ensure the elastic side panels are not obstructed. Try sliding your foot in with a gentle push. If they remain difficult, ensure you have the correct size; they should offer a snug but not painfully tight fit.
Scuff marks on the white sidewall.
Use a damp cloth with mild soap, or a magic eraser/shoe cleaner specifically designed for rubber to gently remove scuff marks. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterward.
Waffle sole losing grip.
Ensure the sole is clean of debris like mud or pebbles. If the rubber has become excessively worn, grip may be reduced. Regular cleaning helps maintain traction.

Care:

- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole and sidewall can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a brush. For stubborn marks on the white sidewall, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be effective.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent damage to the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and condition.
