FAQs
What makes the 'Hands-Free Slip-ins®' feature work?
The design incorporates a uniquely shaped heel and collar, often with a padded 'Heel Pillow®', that allows you to slide your foot in without bending down or using your hands, while still maintaining a secure fit.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?
No, the Billion 2 - Top-Tier is designed as a fashion sneaker for casual wear. It is not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training due to its construction and wedge heel.
How do I clean the metallic accents?
Gently wipe the metallic parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the finish. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I adjust the fit of the laces?
The laces are designed as 'no-tie stretch laces' for aesthetic purposes and ease of entry. They are not adjustable for tightening or loosening the fit.
What is the purpose of the Wedge Fit®?
The Wedge Fit® provides a subtle lift and a fashionable silhouette, offering a slight elevation while maintaining the comfort associated with a sneaker.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is typically made of a combination of duraleather and metallic overlay, offering a blend of durability and stylish detailing. Specific material composition may vary slightly between colorways.
Is the insole removable?
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole is often designed to be removable, allowing for easier cleaning and airing out. Refer to the care instructions for specific cleaning guidance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
The 'no-tie' laces are decorative. For a more snug fit, ensure your heel is properly seated against the Heel Pillow®. If the shoe consistently feels too tight or loose, it may not be the correct size or width.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or moisture. Ensure the insole is properly seated and dry. You can try lightly dusting the inside of the shoe or the insole with talcum powder to reduce friction.
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure you are sliding your foot in smoothly without forcing it. The Heel Pillow® is designed to hold your heel, so a slight angle might be needed to guide your foot in initially. Make sure the back of the shoe is not being pushed down excessively.
Discoloration on upper material
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Clean with a damp cloth as per care instructions. For metallic finishes, use a very gentle touch to avoid scratching.
