FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the Spherica™ EC1 ABX features optimal thermal insulation designed for cold protection.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and always test on a small area first.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the insole is removable and can be replaced with your preferred orthotics or a new insole for enhanced comfort or support.
What does 'ABX' stand for in the product name?
The 'ABX' designation typically signifies Geox's technology that combines waterproofing, breathability, and protection against the elements.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the laces to your comfort level. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. The lace-up system allows for a customized fit.
What is the Zero Shock System?
The Zero Shock System is Geox's technology integrated into the sole that provides reinforced cushioning to absorb impacts, making the shoes more comfortable for extended wear.
Are these shoes suitable for formal business attire?
These are best suited for business casual environments. While stylish, their design is more contemporary and less formal than traditional dress shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted properly to avoid pressure points.
Water seeping through despite being advertised as waterproof.
Check the integrity of the waterproof membrane and seams. Ensure no damage has occurred. Reapply a quality waterproofing spray suitable for leather and technical fabrics. Prolonged submersion may still lead to ingress.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
The Zero Shock System cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Consider replacing the original insole with a new one designed for cushioning, or check if the insole itself needs replacement.
Leather appearing dry or cracked.
Apply a leather conditioner regularly to keep the material supple. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat or dryness, which can accelerate cracking.
