FAQs
Do I need to order my normal size?
No, this model fits large. It is highly recommended to order a half size smaller than your usual shoe size.
What is Soft-Air technology?
Soft-Air is a Mephisto-patented technology featuring a flexible, cushioned midsole that reduces the shock of walking to protect your feet and spine.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, they are specifically designed for comfort during long periods of walking and standing.
Can the insoles be removed?
While the shoes feature integrated support, the internal structure is designed for maximum anatomical comfort.
Are these shoes handmade?

Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too loose
If the shoe is slipping at the heel, try using a slightly thicker sock or an additional thin insole to adjust the internal volume.
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid soap or water immersion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes fit large, it is recommended that you order a half size smaller than your usual UK footwear size to ensure a secure fit. Proper care for the suede upper is essential: use a soft-bristled brush regularly to remove dirt and dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to harden or crack. For optimal longevity, consider using a suede-specific protective spray to repel water and stains, and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
