FAQs
Are these shoes actually machine washable?

Can I replace the bungee laces with standard laces?
The shoes are designed specifically for the bungee system. Replacing them may affect the fit and overall security of the trainer.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
They are ideal for walking and light fitness activities but are not recommended for long-distance or high-impact running.

How high is the heel?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose
Ensure the bungee laces are tucked correctly and consider wearing slightly thicker athletic socks to improve the internal fit.
Insole slips or bunches
Remove the insole, clean any debris from the footbed, and ensure it is laid perfectly flat before re-inserting.
Difficulty putting on
Utilize the heel pull tab to guide your foot in while keeping the bungee opening fully stretched.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear right out of the box with no break-in period typically required due to the soft mesh upper. Because they utilize a bungee lacing system, there is no need to manually tighten the laces; ensure your foot is centered upon first insertion.
To clean your trainers, simply remove the insoles and place the shoes in a gentle, cold-water cycle in the washing machine. Always air-dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning and the mesh fabric. The shoes are compatible with standard athletic wear and casual trousers.
