How do I best clean the Gorge Green mesh?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent damage.
What makes the 3M reflective finish useful?
The 3M reflective finish significantly enhances the shoe's visibility in low-light conditions, adding a safety feature for activities like walking or cycling at dusk or night.

Troubleshooting

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure distribution.
Reflective material appears dull or damaged.
Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning methods. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. If damage is significant, it may be permanent.
