FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The shoes feature a leather and mesh upper which provides some protection, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for heavy-duty hiking?
They are designed for light trails and all-terrain walking; they are not intended for technical or extreme mountain hiking.
Do I need to tie the laces?
These shoes are designed as 'Hands Free Slip-ins,' meaning you can step into them without manually tying the laces once they are initially set.
How do I clean the memory foam insoles?
The insoles are best cleaned by wiping them with a damp cloth and allowing them to air dry completely.
Is the Relaxed Fit true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to size, but the 'Relaxed Fit' designation means there will be more room in the toe box compared to a standard athletic shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel loose in the heel area.
Ensure your foot is fully pushed into the Heel Pillow; if they remain loose, consider using a slightly thicker sock to improve fit.
Outer mesh appears dusty or dirty.
Use a dry, soft brush to gently flick away loose dirt, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.
Sole traction feels reduced.
Check for debris or small stones lodged in the treads of the Goodyear outsole and remove them using a blunt tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When cleaning, avoid machine washing the leather components; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud and a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Since the upper contains genuine leather, consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against moisture and dirt. Because these are built on a Relaxed Fit platform, they typically fit true to size, but it is recommended to wear standard-weight socks for the most consistent fit.
