FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to spot clean them with a damp cloth; machine washing may damage the memory foam and structural integrity.

Can I replace the fixed laces?

The laces are designed as a fixed stretch system for convenience and should not be removed or replaced with traditional laces.

Are they suitable for wide feet?

The breathable mesh upper offers some natural flex, but they are built to a standard adult width profile.

Does the memory foam lose its cushioning over time?

Like all foam insoles, they will compress over long periods of heavy use, but the material is designed for long-lasting support.

Are these considered safety-toe shoes?

No, these are slip-resistant work trainers and do not contain steel or composite toe caps.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a lightweight, breathable mesh fabric designed to facilitate airflow.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The stretch laces and mesh upper will naturally adapt to your foot shape after a few days of wear.

Slippage on extremely greasy floors

While slip-resistant, always test surface stability and clean your outsoles regularly to remove debris that could impair grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers come with fixed stretch laces, meaning no initial setup is required; simply slide your foot into the shoe. To maintain the life of your trainers, it is recommended to avoid machine washing with harsh detergents. Instead, spot clean the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent the memory foam or adhesive from degrading. Ensure you are ordering your standard size, as the stretch-fit design is intended to accommodate most foot shapes comfortably.
