Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the elastic laces slightly or ensure the removable insole is correctly positioned. If the shoe consistently feels too small, consider if a larger size is needed.
Difficulty slipping shoes on
Ensure the elastic laces are sufficiently loosened. The slip-on system is designed for ease, so if resistance is felt, check for obstructions or ensure the shoe is fully opened.
Braided texture appears dirty
Use a soft brush to gently clean the braided areas. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid soaking.
Insole feels uncomfortable
Ensure the insole is fully flat and correctly seated. If it remains uncomfortable, it can be replaced with a different insole or orthotic suitable for casual footwear.
