Troubleshooting

Creasing on the upper

Minor creasing is natural with wear on canvas. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use. Avoid excessive flexing.

Scuff marks on the sole

Light scuff marks can often be removed with a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap.

Discoloration of canvas

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with appropriate canvas cleaners and allow to air dry away from heat.
