No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoes. Hand clean following the care instructions provided.

This specific product information details a White/Graphite Grey colorway. Availability of other colors may vary by retailer and season.

The open mesh underlays are designed to improve airflow throughout the shoe, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during extended wear or activity.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing to prevent odor or material degradation.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are of appropriate thickness for your usual fit.

The cushioning may feel less pronounced after significant use. Consider replacing the shoes if the comfort significantly diminishes. Ensure no debris is affecting the midsole.

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but extremely wet or polished surfaces may still pose a risk. Clean the outsole regularly to ensure optimal grip.

Some creasing is natural with leather and synthetic materials. Avoid excessive flexing. Clean and condition leather elements periodically to maintain their appearance.
