FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
These are casual low shoes and are not designed for athletic performance. They are best suited for everyday wear and light activity.
How do I know if this is the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the sizing chart. Consider your typical shoe fit preference (e.g., snug vs. loose).
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand-washing individual components like laces and spot-cleaning the upper and sole is the preferred method for care.
What does 'glue-free' sole construction mean?
It means that the sole is attached to the upper using a vulcanization or pressing process without the use of adhesives. This is an environmentally friendly manufacturing technique.
Are the insoles supportive enough for all-day wear?
The insoles are made from recycled rubber and canvas, offering basic comfort. For extended periods of standing or walking, you may wish to add your own supportive insoles.
How durable is the natural rubber sole?
The natural rubber compound is chosen for its durability and flexibility. With proper care, the sole is designed to withstand regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Wear them with thin socks initially and gradually break them in. Consider using a shoe stretcher or trying a different size if the fit remains problematic.
Discoloration on the cotton upper.
Attempt to spot-clean with a slightly damp cloth. For persistent stains, a mild cotton cleaner may be used cautiously, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Squeaking noise from the sole.
This can sometimes occur with new natural rubber. Try wearing them more or applying a small amount of talcum powder to the insole or where the sole meets the upper.
Laces fraying.
Replace laces with new cotton laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
