Hotter Laurel - Low Shoes - Striped - Blue - Size: 3

The Laurel shoes feature a flexible striped elastic insert that can accommodate a moderate range of foot widths. However, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes. We recommend checking customer reviews or trying them on if possible.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the Cushion+ technology, leather insole, and elastic components.

Cushion+ is a comfort technology developed by Hotter that aims to reduce fatigue and strain by providing enhanced cushioning and support, making the shoes comfortable for extended periods of wear.

The shoes should feel comfortable from the first wear, with no pinching or excessive looseness. There should be a small amount of space at the end of your toes. The slip-on design should provide a secure fit without being too tight.

Yes, the leather insole is removable and can be replaced with your own orthotics or a new insole if it becomes worn out.

Lightweight, breathable socks are recommended to maintain comfort, especially in warmer weather. You can also wear them with or without socks, depending on your preference and the temperature.

The Laurel shoes are made primarily of canvas and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause damage and discomfort.

The canvas and elastic insert are designed to stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them for short periods initially, or consider removing the insole to create more space. If still uncomfortable, check if a larger size is available.

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently scrub the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Remove the leather insole and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. You can also sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the insole overnight to absorb odors, then brush it off.
