FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

Due to the suede material, these shoes are not ideal for wet weather. Suede can be easily damaged by water. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray for light protection against occasional splashes.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Contour Cushion footbed is removable and can be replaced with your preferred aftermarket insoles for customized comfort and support.

How often should I clean the suede?

Regularly brush off surface dust. For deeper cleaning or stain removal, address issues as they arise, but avoid routine wet cleaning. Reapply protector spray every few months with regular wear.

What type of socks are best with these shoes?

Thin to medium-weight socks, such as cotton or wool blends, are recommended to maintain comfort and fit. Avoid very thick socks that may make the shoes feel tight.

What is the primary benefit of the Contour Cushion footbed?

The Contour Cushion footbed is designed to provide enhanced arch support and adaptive cushioning, aiming to reduce foot fatigue during extended wear.

Can the blue suede color fade over time?

Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause fading. Storing the shoes away from direct light can help preserve the color.

Troubleshooting

Suede discoloration or stiffness

Ensure the shoes have not been exposed to excessive moisture. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For minor stiffness, a suede conditioner may help.

Footbed feels too firm

The Contour Cushion footbed may require a short break-in period. If still uncomfortable, consider replacing it with an aftermarket insole that suits your preference.

Sole showing signs of wear

The super-grippy sole is designed for durability, but heavy use may accelerate wear. Consider professional sole repair if significant wear occurs before the rest of the shoe is compromised.

Difficulty slipping shoes on/off

Ensure you are purchasing the correct size. If the shoe is new, the suede may be slightly stiff and loosen with wear. Gently flex the shoe to help break it in.
