FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
While the materials are durable, it is recommended to spot clean with a damp cloth to protect the integrity of the Arch Fit cushioning.
Does the wide fit apply to the entire shoe?
Yes, the wide fit construction is designed to provide extra space throughout the forefoot and midfoot areas.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
The Arch Fit insole is designed to be highly effective, but it can be removed if you have a custom medical-grade orthotic you prefer to use.
Are these suitable for heavy rain?
The polyester material is breathable, which means it is not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to keep your feet dry.
What is the primary benefit of the Slip-ins feature?
The Slip-ins feature allows you to put on your shoes completely hands-free, which is ideal for those with mobility issues or anyone who values efficiency.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while walking
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the heel still slips, try using a slightly thicker sock to improve the lock-down fit.
Insoles feel slightly firm initially
The Arch Fit material is designed to mold to your foot; wear them for short walks over two to three days to allow the foam to adapt to your unique arch profile.
Visible dust on polyester mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the weave of the fabric before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box with no break-in period required due to the flexible polyester upper. To ensure long-lasting performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove debris.
- Drying: Air dry the sneakers naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the Arch Fit insoles.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for small rocks or gravel to preserve the high-rebound traction.
