FAQs
Are these shoes actually machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry.
Can I adjust the tightness of the laces?
No, the stretch laces are fixed in place to maintain the Hands Free slip-in functionality.
What is the purpose of the Heel Pillow?
The Heel Pillow is designed to grip your heel, ensuring the shoe stays securely on your foot without slipping while you walk.
Is the Memory Foam insole removable?
The insoles are generally designed to stay in place, but they are built to provide lasting comfort without needing replacement.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The stretch-fit upper accommodates various foot shapes, though sizing can vary by individual. It is recommended to stick to your standard size.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily designed for walking and casual, daily activities rather than high-impact running.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly loose at the heel
Ensure you are using the Hands Free entry properly to allow the Heel Pillow to set correctly; wearing appropriate thickness socks can also improve the fit.
Insole feels less cushioned after heavy use
Remove the insole to air out or lightly brush with a damp cloth; if necessary, the shoes can be machine washed to refresh the materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box. Because they utilize stretch laces, there is no need to tie or adjust the tension. To maintain the life of your trainers, they are machine washable; however, it is recommended to wash them on a gentle, cold cycle and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure you check the sizing guide, as the slip-in fit relies on a snug heel connection to function correctly. If you wear them frequently in wet conditions, allow them 24 hours to fully dry to maintain the integrity of the Memory Foam insole.
