FAQs

What is the significance of the 'Drizzle Red' name?

Troubleshooting

Creasing on canvas upper

Some creasing is natural with canvas wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Red color bleeding onto lighter socks

It is advisable to wear darker socks, especially during the initial wears, as there is a possibility of slight color transfer from the red accents.

Dirt on the off-white rubber toe cap

Clean the toe cap with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a magic eraser can be carefully applied, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
