Extended Product Information
Troubleshooting
Uncomfortable fit
Check lacing; ensure it's snug but not tight. Allow for a short break-in period for the footbed to mold.
Nubuck appears dull/dirty
Gently brush with a nubuck brush to remove surface dirt and restore texture. Apply a nubuck cleaner for deeper stains.
Squeaking sound
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes a sprinkle of baby powder under the insole can help reduce friction.
Foot odor
Ensure breathable socks are worn. Remove insoles periodically to air out. Use a shoe deodorizer if necessary.
Laces frequently come untied
Double-knot laces. Consider replacing with laces that have more texture for better grip.
FAQs
Is the Hollyhock Walk suitable for wide feet?
The product description does not specify a wide fit for this variant. It's recommended to check for specific 'Wide Fit' versions if you require extra width, or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
As they feature a nubuck upper, they are not fully waterproof. While a protective spray helps, it's best to avoid heavy rain and wet conditions to preserve the material.
How do I clean the white EVA outsole?
The lightweight EVA outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing that could damage the material.
What is 'Heritage Strobel Construction'?
Heritage Strobel construction is a method where the upper material is stitched directly to the insole board, creating a flexible 'sock' that enhances the shoe's overall flexibility and comfort.
What is the benefit of a 'Moulded Contour Cushion footbed'?
This footbed is designed to provide targeted anatomical support, cushioning your foot in key areas like the arch and heel, reducing impact and offering superior comfort for prolonged wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use

- Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces from the toe towards the ankle, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Tie a secure knot or bow.
- Break-in Period: While designed for immediate comfort, wear them for short periods initially to allow the footbed to fully mould to your foot shape.

Care & Maintenance
- Nubuck Protection: Before first wear, treat the nubuck upper with a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for nubuck and suede. This helps protect against moisture and dirt.
- Cleaning Nubuck: Use a nubuck brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner according to product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: While protected, nubuck is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.
