Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your Hotter Gravity II Active Shoes is simple:
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Lace Up: Before wearing, ensure laces are threaded correctly and evenly. Adjust them to a comfortable snugness, allowing for natural foot movement without feeling restricted.
- Try On: Wear the shoes with the type of socks you typically use. Walk around to ensure a comfortable fit. The wide width should provide ample space for your foot.
- Insoles: If you use custom orthotics, remove the existing removable insoles and replace them with your own.
Compatibility
The Hotter Gravity II Active Shoes are highly compatible with a variety of everyday activities and casual wear:
- Walking: Excellent for daily walks, urban exploration, and light trails.
- Casual Wear: Their sporty yet refined design makes them suitable for pairing with jeans, leggings, and casual dresses.
- Standing: Ideal for professions or situations requiring long periods of standing due to their cushioned sole and wide fit.
- Orthotics: The removable insoles ensure compatibility with most custom orthotics.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hotter Gravity II Active Shoes, particularly the white leather upper.
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: The PU sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the leather and sole materials.
- Insole Care: The textile lining and removable insoles can be aired out regularly. If removable insoles are washable, follow specific instructions; otherwise, a light wipe with a damp cloth is sufficient.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water.
