Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, especially over the instep, and ensure they are properly positioned on your foot. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if they need a short break-in period.
Canvas shows dirt easily
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Allow to air dry.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces. New laces are readily available and can be easily threaded through the eyelets.
Sole detaching slightly
For minor detachment, a strong adhesive suitable for rubber and fabric may be used as a temporary fix. For significant detachment, consult a shoe repair professional or consider replacement.
