FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather and synthetic upper offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not classified as waterproof shoes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash leather footwear as it can damage the materials. Stick to manual cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for heavy industrial work?
No. While they are durable and feature a rugged outsole, they do not include steel toes or specialized protective features required for industrial safety environments.
What is the 'Relaxed Fit' feature?
Relaxed Fit refers to a design that provides more room in the toe box and forefoot for a more spacious, comfortable feel.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole can be removed if you need to replace it with a custom orthotic insert.
Troubleshooting
Heel slipping while walking
Ensure the shoe is fully engaged with your heel. If the issue persists, verify that you are wearing the correct size and that the Heel Pillow area is clean of debris.
Outer sole losing grip
Check the tread for embedded rocks or caked mud. Use a stiff brush to clear the gaps in the Goodyear rubber to restore optimal traction.
Insole feels compressed
Remove the insole and allow it to air out for 24 hours to help the memory foam recover its loft. If completely worn down, consider replacing with a compatible aftermarket insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Use: While these are 'Slip-ins', ensure you pull the heel tab up if you encounter resistance during the first few wears as the materials break in.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud or dirt from the outsole. For the leather upper, use a damp cloth and specialized leather conditioner to maintain the material's integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking and to maintain the memory foam's structural support.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizing. They are compatible with most standard aftermarket insoles if you require additional orthotic support, though the factory Air-Cooled Memory Foam is intended for general use.
