Full details

Troubleshooting
Difficulty slipping foot in
Ensure the Heel Pillow® area is clear. Try loosening the stretch laces slightly if possible, though they are fixed. A shoehorn can assist if needed initially.
Insole feels flat or less cushioned over time
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® insole may need to be cleaned according to care instructions. If cushioning has significantly degraded, consider replacing the insole.
Mesh upper appears dirty after washing
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water for spot cleaning. Ensure all detergent is rinsed out thoroughly during the machine wash cycle.
Slight odor development
Ensure the shoes are completely dry after washing or wearing. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or place baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors. Regular washing can prevent this.
