Troubleshooting
Canvas appears dirty after wear.
Gently spot clean with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Allow to air dry completely.
Soles have scuff marks.
Use a damp cloth or a magic eraser (test on an inconspicuous area first) to gently remove scuff marks from the rubber soles.
Shoe feels slightly stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in. The cushioned footbed will conform to your foot over time.
Water stains on canvas.
While canvas is not waterproof, minor water spots can be gently cleaned once dry. For future protection, consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for canvas footwear (test first).
