Troubleshooting
Canvas material seems stiff initially.
This is normal due to the heavy gauge canvas inspired by kimonos. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. The material will soften with use.
Slight color transfer on socks.
Some new, darker dyed textiles can experience minor color transfer. This should reduce after a few wears and washes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored or wet socks.
Difficulty cleaning specific stains.
For stubborn stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for canvas and textile materials. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
