Are these shoes suitable for walking?

Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing technique, specifically using a window lacing pattern to relieve tension over the area of discomfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Stinson 8s, verify your fit by measuring your feet in the evening when they are at their largest. These shoes feature a performance-oriented last; ensure the cage overlay is snug but not constricting across the midfoot. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesive integrity. Instead, clean the outsole with a soft brush and warm water to remove debris. If the uppers get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources.
