FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
These sneakers are made from organic cotton and are not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the advantage of a cork insole?
Cork insoles are naturally cushioning, anti-microbial, and mold to the shape of your foot over time, providing personalized comfort and support.
How do I clean the recycled rubber outsole?
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or use a soft brush with water to remove dirt. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'HI Zip' refer to?

What is the environmental benefit of this product?
The sneakers utilize 100% organic cotton for the upper and lining, and a recycled rubber outsole, significantly reducing the environmental footprint compared to conventional footwear.
Troubleshooting
Sneakers feel tight after initial wear.
The cork insole will naturally mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for a break-in period. Ensure the laces are adjusted for comfort, not too tight.
Stains on the organic cotton.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry.
Zipper is stiff.
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to smooth its operation.
