What is the main advantage of the cotton canvas material?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if a different size might be more suitable, as canvas can be less forgiving than other materials.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and outsole or the tongue and laces. Try to identify the source. Sprinkle a small amount of baby powder or baking soda under the insole. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Discoloration on canvas

Light discoloration can often be wiped away with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized canvas shoe cleaner following the product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
