FAQs
What type of leather are these shoes made from?
The shoes are made from smooth leather, offering a sleek appearance and feel.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the insole is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotic or preferred insole.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and ensure the shoes are air-dried.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, these shoes are designed with an 'H' width, providing extra space for wider feet.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 29mm.
How durable is the stitchdown construction?
Stitchdown construction is known for its robustness and ability to provide a flexible sole, contributing to the shoe's longevity and comfort.
What materials are the sole made of?
The sole is made of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), which offers good grip and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight in width
Loosen the laces and adjust the zipper. If still too tight, consider if the 'H' width is sufficient for your needs, or if the removable insole is contributing to tightness (try removing it).
Difficulty with zipper
Ensure laces are not obstructing the zipper path. Gently guide the zipper; if it feels stuck, check for fabric snags. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) on the teeth can sometimes help.
Insole not drying properly
Ensure the insole is completely removed from the shoe and allowed to air dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid using artificial heat sources like hairdryers, which can damage the material.
Slight stiffness in leather
New leather can be initially stiff. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to conform to your foot shape. Using a leather conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather can also help soften the material over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Simply try them on for fit. The lacing and zipper allow for immediate customization of tightness.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women's feet. The extra width (H) makes them compatible with feet that require more room. The removable insole allows for compatibility with custom orthotic inserts.
Care:
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe the smooth leather exterior with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Insole Care: The insole is removable and can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Sole Maintenance: Clean the thermoplastic elastomer sole with a damp cloth. Check for any debris lodged in the tread.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to maintain shape and protect the leather.
