FAQs
What makes these trainers 'Hands Free Slip-ins®'?
They feature a unique Heel Pillow® design that allows you to slide your foot in without needing to bend down or use your hands to pull them on.
What is the 'Soft Luxe' material?
The 'Soft Luxe' designation typically refers to enhanced comfort features, often including softer linings and a more plush feel compared to standard models. This variant includes a quilted Cozy Fit® upper.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede overlays and cushioning. Spot cleaning or gentle hand washing is advised.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?
While comfortable for walking and light activity, these trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and offer a relaxed fit. They may not provide the necessary support and structure for rigorous athletic training or running.
How do I clean the Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole?
The insole can be gently spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing.
What is the main difference between 'Hotshot - Soft Luxe' and other 'Hotshot' variants?
The 'Soft Luxe' versions often emphasize enhanced comfort and softer materials in the upper and lining, providing a more premium feel compared to standard models.
How durable are the duraleather and suede overlays?
Duraleather is designed for increased durability and resistance to wear. Genuine pigskin suede offers a premium look and feel, but requires careful maintenance to preserve its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too large or loose.
Consider trying a half-size smaller, especially if you have narrower feet. Thicker socks can also provide a snugger fit.
Difficulty slipping foot in initially.
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is correctly positioned. Gently slide your foot in, allowing the shoe's structure to assist. The fit may loosen slightly with wear.
Insole not feeling cushioned enough.
Ensure the insole is properly seated. If it feels compressed, it may need replacement after extended use, or consider adding a compatible cushioned insole insert.
Suede material getting wet.
Suede is sensitive to moisture. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat. Consider using a suede protector spray (test on an inconspicuous area first).
