Troubleshooting
Canvas material feels stiff initially
This is normal for new canvas. Wear the shoes regularly to break them in. They will soften with use.
Color transfer from black accents to lighter areas
This is a possibility with contrasting colors. Avoid prolonged contact with moisture and consider using a protective spray designed for footwear.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt from canvas
Try a dedicated canvas cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water. Apply sparingly and clean gently with a soft brush. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
New shoe soles can sometimes be slick. Lightly scuffing the bottom on a rough surface or wearing them outdoors can help improve grip.
