Troubleshooting

Canvas material appears dirty quickly

Gently clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized canvas cleaner. Avoid machine washing.

Slight discomfort on first wear

This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Pearl weave texture snagging

Be mindful of rough surfaces. If a snag occurs, try to gently tuck the pulled thread back in with tweezers rather than cutting it.

Color transfer from black accents

This is rare, but if color transfer is noticed, clean the affected area immediately with a mild cleaner suitable for the material. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics.
