Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for new walkers. Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are pulled firmly across the bridge of the foot to lock the heel in place. Because these are made from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner to wipe away dirt. For scuffs, a standard leather conditioner or matching polish can help restore the finish. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to keep the leather from cracking.
