Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the laces are tightened firmly but not so much that they restrict blood flow. The UK size 6.5 follows standard sizing conventions. Regarding care, keep the shoes clean by using a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt from the textile upper. Avoid machine washing, as this can compromise the adhesive bonding the rubber soles and potentially damage the charms. For the charm elements, check periodically to ensure the attachments remain tight. If the fabric becomes wet, allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
