How do I find my size? +

We know how important it is to find your perfect fit. Here are a few helpful hints to size your sneaker just right.

How do I take care of my shoes? +

Canvas:

  • Hand-wash your sneakers with a brush or an old kitchen towel (to reach in between grooves) with neutral soap & cold water.
  • Do not machine wash or dry.

Suede:

  • Keep them away from water, and try a little TLC. Treat stains by hand using an eraser to rub away any marks, or use a brush or soft cloth to reach in between grooves. Brush away dirt in circular motions, whilst alternating direction (for tough stains, use a damp, clean cloth and dry the area with a hair dryer to remove any moisture).
  • Do not machine wash or dry.

Leather:

  • Prep your shoe: Remove and soak the laces in warm water with baking soda, and set aside. With your damp cloth, gently wipe down the exterior of the entire shoe to remove dirt on the surface of the shoe. Let dry.
  • Build up a soap lather using your cloth. Massage the soapy lather in small, gentle circles all over the leather upper to remove dirt. Wipe away, then repeat if necessary. Let shoes and laces dry completely.
  • Do not machine wash or dry.

Plaid:

  • Use a soft brush to brush any dust/stain that arises.
  • Do not machine wash or dry.
How do I take care of my new socks and/or shirt? +

First, socks! You can toss them in the washing machine, air-dry or line-dry them when done. Be sure to avoid bleaching and tumble-drying!

Next, shirts. You can toss your shirt in the washing machine and set it to cold. When it’s done, you can air-dry or iron on low heat. Be sure to avoid dry-cleaning, tumble-drying, line-drying, and bleaching to keep your shirt looking fresh. Washing it with similar colours is always recommended.

    About Earth Day Edition Sneaker +
    We stand for less waste, more trees, and constant evolution. We wanted this sneaker to be equally value-driven: built to last, handcrafted with a blend of organic cotton + recycled canvas, featuring “burnt” no-fray lace tips and bio-based eyelets. We’re most excited about our brand-new BLOOM rubber, made with algae—an infinitely renewable resource we used to create an especially lightweight outsole.
    Is it a digital gift card? +
    Yes, it’s a digital gift card that we send directly to your email!
