FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes feature a comfort width (G 1/2), which is generally considered more accommodating than standard widths. They are designed for a comfortable fit for many individuals, but suitability can vary based on personal foot shape.
Can I wear these for sports activities?
These are designed as casual low-top sneakers for everyday wear. While they offer good traction and support, they are not specifically designed as athletic performance shoes for rigorous sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner and always test on a small, hidden area first. Allow to air dry.
What is the benefit of the Swing2GO insole?
The Swing2GO insole is engineered with arch support to provide excellent shock absorption and contribute to energy return with each step, enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the insole is removable, which allows you to replace it with your own custom orthotics or a different type of insole if desired.
What materials are used for the lining?
The lining is a combination of light micro velour and synthetic leather.
What is the recommended use for these shoes?
These shoes are best suited for casual, everyday wear, offering comfort and support for walking and standing for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being the correct size.
Ensure the laces are not over-tightened. If the width (G 1/2) is still not sufficient, consider removing the insole for slightly more internal volume or exploring alternative insoles.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try walking on different surfaces, or if the sound persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
While the TR outsole offers good grip, all shoe soles have limitations on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris that could affect grip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent shock absorption due to the Swing2GO insole.
- Good traction and grip on multiple surfaces from the TR outsole.
- Comfortable fit with an accommodating width.
- Durable construction from quality leather.
- Supportive arch support for improved comfort.
Cons
- May not suit highly formal occasions.
- Lining materials, while breathable, are a blend and not pure natural fiber.
- Heel height of 33mm might be a consideration for some users.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These shoes require no specific setup. Simply wear them as you would any other pair of low-top sneakers.
Compatibility:
- Insoles: The insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics or alternative insoles if preferred. Ensure any replacement insole is of a similar thickness to maintain the shoe's fit.
- Socks: Compatible with most types of socks, from thin no-show socks to thicker athletic socks.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the smooth leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Lining: The light micro velour and synthetic leather lining can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Outsole: Clean the Thermoplastic Elastomer sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove any debris. Ensure the sole remains free of obstructions for optimal grip.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
