How do I adjust the laces if I want a tighter fit?
The laces are functional and can be tightened or loosened by adjusting the knot and pulling the laces. This allows for a customized fit over the standard slip-on design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose without adjusting laces
Tighten the laces gradually until a secure, comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the Heel Pillow® is properly cradling your heel.
Slight odor after wear
Remove the insoles and air them out separately. You can also use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda overnight inside the shoes to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.
Mesh upper feels slightly restrictive
Wear the shoes for a few short periods to allow the Stretch Fit® upper to mold to your foot shape. If persistent, check lace tension.
Difficulty slipping foot into the shoe
Ensure the Heel Pillow® is angled correctly and you are sliding your foot straight in. A silk or bamboo sock can sometimes help the foot glide in more easily.
