Troubleshooting
Insoles feel damp after washing.
Ensure insoles are completely air-dried before placing them back into the shoes. Avoid using a machine dryer.
Crochet upper snagged or pulled.
Gently try to smooth the pulled thread back into place. For minor snags, a small needle might be used carefully. Avoid rough contact with sharp objects.
Shoes feel too loose.
The spacious fit and elastic gore are designed for comfort. If a snugger fit is desired, consider using a heel grip or a thin insole liner.
