FAQs

Can these shoes be machine washed?

While the materials are durable, it is recommended to hand wash or spot clean them to preserve the integrity of the espadrille-style outsole.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Wendy series generally fits true to size for most, though if you are between sizes or prefer extra room for socks, some users prefer to size up.

Are these good for people with flat feet?

The foam insoles provide moderate support, but because they are removable, they are highly compatible with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.

What is the purpose of the cork in the footbed?

The cork lining is naturally moisture-wicking and helps provide a comfortable, antimicrobial layer against the foot.

Can I wear these without socks?

Yes, the breathable textile lining and cushioned footbed are designed to be comfortable even when worn barefoot.

Are the laces functional?

The laces are part of an 'easy-on' system; they provide the tension needed to keep the shoe secure but do not require tying.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel loose while walking

Adjust the tension on the easy-on lace toggles to ensure a snugger fit across the bridge of your foot.

Insoles are starting to smell after long use

Remove the foam insoles, hand wash them with a gentle soap, and let them air dry completely before reinserting.

Dirt stuck in the textile weave

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris, then spot-clean with a cloth dipped in cold water and mild soap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue
  • Stylish espadrille-inspired aesthetic suitable for various casual settings
  • Easy-on design is perfect for travel and quick departures
  • Removable insoles allow for easier cleaning and customization

Cons

  • Textile upper material is not waterproof or water-resistant
  • May lack the stability needed for rigorous athletic activities
  • Light-colored or fabric-based materials can show dirt more easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Wendy features a slip-on elastic lace system, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the toggles once to your preferred tightness. For care, it is recommended to spot-clean the textile uppers with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Since the insoles are removable, you can take them out to air dry if they become damp. Avoid placing these shoes in a high-heat clothes dryer, as this can degrade the foam insoles and weaken the adhesive in the outsole; air drying in a shaded area is the best practice to maintain the shoe's structural integrity.
