FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized nubuck/suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, let them dry and then brush. Applying a colorless waterproofing spray for suede is recommended for protection.
Will the cork footbed hold up in wet weather?
The cork footbed is not designed for prolonged exposure to moisture and can be damaged. It's best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How long does it take for the footbed to break in?
Break-in time varies per individual, but typically it takes a few days to a couple of weeks of moderate wear for the cork footbed to conform to the shape of your foot.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, the suede footbed lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin, wicking away moisture.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), which provides cushioning and shock absorption.
How do I adjust the strap?
The strap features an adjustable metal pin buckle. You can slide the buckle to loosen or tighten the strap for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, allow them to dry completely before brushing.
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The cork footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration to allow them to break in.
Water spots or stains on the suede.
Allow the suede to dry naturally. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Applying a suede protector can help prevent future water marks.
