FAQs
Is the Blowfish Malibu Alex suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual daily wear and do not provide the stability or impact protection required for running.
Can I remove the insole?
The footbed is lightly cushioned and integrated into the design; it is not recommended to remove it as it may affect the shoe's structure.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The Alex model features a 1-inch heel.
Are these shoes machine washable?
We recommend against machine washing to preserve the life of the materials and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
While the textile upper offers some flexibility, the slip-on design is standard width. If you have wide feet, you may find the fit snug.
Does the shoe provide arch support?
The shoe includes a lightly cushioned footbed for comfort, but it does not feature specialized orthopedic arch support.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Use a shoehorn to help guide your heel into the back of the shoe without crushing the heel counter.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Consider adding a thin adhesive insole or gel heel grip to improve fit and security.
Surface dirt on the textile
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or dust before spot cleaning with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No specialized setup is required; the trainers are ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the textile and synthetic upper, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and structural form. Instead, spot clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. For tough stains, use a specialized textile cleaner. Ensure the shoes are allowed to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or crack. Storing them in a cool, dry place will help prolong their lifespan.
