Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears matted or flat

Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair growth to restore its texture.

Scuff marks on the rubber sole

Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the rubber sole. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be carefully used, ensuring it doesn't contact the pony hair.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes with socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. The elastic gussets offer some flexibility.

Water spots on the pony hair

Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, gently brush the hair to restore its appearance. Avoid further exposure to moisture.
