When these shoes get dirty a soft bristled brush can be used to slightly raise the dirt.

The only drawback of a fabric or canvas shoe is that its durability is nowhere near leather. These shoes are produced with the intention of being a disposable product and do not repair well. Care of them through exchanges with other pairs of shoes will reduce the wear compared to a situation they are used on a daily basis.
There are other generic methods of keeping your shoes in good condition. Using a shoe you will avoid breaking the collar of his shoe, which is the area surrounding the foot above your heel. In addition, a more expensive pair might be worth the effort to find a good repair shop.
