FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the materials are durable, the open-weave design is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light-use conditions.
Can I wear these without socks?
Yes, the Uneek Lea is designed to be comfortable worn barefoot, thanks to the soft, conforming nature of the leather cords.
Are these good for hiking?
They are excellent for light walking and casual paths, but they do not provide the toe protection or ankle stability required for rugged hiking trails.
How do I clean the leather cords?
Wipe them down gently with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or submerse them in water for extended periods.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the adaptive nature of the cords provides some flexibility if you are between sizes.
Can I replace the bungee laces?
The lacing is integrated into the design. If the bungee becomes damaged, contact customer support for repair options.
Troubleshooting
The cord feels too tight after walking.
Adjust the bungee cord lacing system to loosen the tension across the top of your foot.
Debris enters through the open weave.
Avoid sandy or heavily pebbled terrain, or wear with thin performance socks if necessary.
The leather feels stiff.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow your body heat to soften the leather cords.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed to be worn straight out of the box with no specific technical setup required. To ensure longevity, keep the leather components clean by using a soft brush to remove dirt or debris from the woven cords. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen. We recommend checking the fit when you first receive them; the cords should feel snug but not restrictive. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive and leather integrity.
