Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense exercise?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities like walking. While comfortable, they do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for high-impact sports like running.
How do I clean the metallic parts of the trainers?
Gently wipe the metallic accents with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can damage the finish.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially the duraleather and metallic overlays, can be damaged by the washing machine's agitation and heat.
What does 'Hands-Free Slip-ins®' mean?
It means you can put on and take off the shoes without needing to bend down or use your hands. The design allows you to just step into them.
How much height does the Wedge Fit® add?
The Wedge Fit® provides a subtle lift. The exact height increase is not specified but is designed to offer a fashionable silhouette rather than significant elevation.
Are the stretch laces adjustable?
The laces are designed to be no-tie and offer a snug fit. While they provide some flexibility, they are not designed for traditional adjustment like standard laces.
What is the Heel Pillow®?
The Heel Pillow® is a cushioning feature located inside the shoe around the heel area, designed to provide a secure and comfortable fit, preventing slippage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the materials to mold to your feet. The stretch laces offer some give, and the memory foam insole will adapt over time.
Difficulty slipping foot in fully
Ensure your heel is positioned correctly in the Heel Pillow®. Sometimes a slight wiggle or using the back of the shoe to assist can help the foot slide in smoothly.
Metallic accents losing shine
Gently buff the metallic areas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid polishing compounds, as they may be too abrasive for the finish.
Insole feels flat after extended wear
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® may compress over time. Ensure the insole is dry and properly placed. For more significant compression, consider a compatible supportive insole.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the duraleather and metallic overlay with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials.
