Troubleshooting
Material feels stiff initially
This is normal for the heavy gauge canvas. Wear the shoes regularly to break them in, allowing the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Color transfer from dark denim
Be mindful of wearing dark denim jeans with the lighter colored parts of the shoe, especially when new. Consider using a fabric protector spray, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Debris or dust can reduce traction. For specific smooth surfaces, consider a light scuffing of the sole or ensuring the shoe is broken in.
