Troubleshooting
Color transfer from black Swoosh to lighter parts of the upper.
This can occur with excessive friction or moisture. Ensure the shoes are dry and avoid prolonged contact between the black Swoosh and the sail-colored canvas. If minor transfer occurs, try gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Canvas upper feels stiff initially.
The pearl weave canvas may feel stiff at first, similar to a new gi. Wear the shoes regularly for short periods to break them in. The material will soften and conform to your foot over time.
Dirt accumulation on the textured upper.
Use a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For ingrained dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with minimal water. Avoid saturating the material.
