FAQs
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins' mean?
It means you can put on and take off the shoes without bending down or using your hands, thanks to a special design in the heel area.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. For marathon running, we recommend specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning for high-impact performance.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, please do not put these shoes in a machine dryer. High heat can damage the materials and affect their shape and comfort. Always air dry them.
What is the 'Heel Pillow®' feature?
The Heel Pillow® is an internal component in the collar of the shoe that provides a comfortable, secure fit by cushioning and holding your heel in place.
Are these shoes truly vegan?
Yes, the materials used in this specific model (mesh upper with synthetic hotmelt overlays) are considered vegan.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
The entire shoe is machine washable on a gentle, cold cycle. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for smooth surfaces like sidewalks, indoor floors, and light trails. They are not designed for extremely rough or rocky terrain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose initially.
Allow for a brief break-in period of a few wears. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct size. Consider trying a different size or width if available.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure the Heel Pillow is not obstructed and that the shoe is fully open. Gently pull the heel tab if needed. Over time, the shoe may become more pliable.
Slight odor after wear.
Due to the breathable materials, odors can occur. Ensure the shoes are aired out after each use. Machine washing as per care instructions can also help eliminate odors.
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam may compress over time. Ensure proper cleaning and care. If cushioning significantly degrades, consider replacing the shoes.
