FAQs
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It means the product has been reviewed by the American Podiatric Medical Association and found to be beneficial for foot health and suitable for individuals concerned about foot conditions.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for walking, casual wear, and light fitness. They are not optimized for high-impact running due to the emphasis on slip-on convenience and specific arch support design.
Can I replace the Arch Fit insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Arch Fit insole is removable, allowing you to insert your custom orthotics. Ensure your orthotics are a similar size and shape for a proper fit.
How do I clean the blue mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove soap residue. Air dry the shoes completely.
What is the 'Heel Pillow' feature?
The Heel Pillow is a soft, cushioned component integrated into the heel collar of the shoe. It helps to securely hold your foot in place, providing added comfort and preventing slippage.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions and should be protected from heavy rain.
What does 'Hands Free Slip-ins' mean?
It means the shoes are designed to be put on and taken off without needing to use your hands to push them onto your feet. You simply slip your foot in, aided by the shoe's structure and heel design.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or slip off.
Ensure your heel is fully seated within the Heel Pillow. Adjust the laces for a snugger fit if needed. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width.
Difficulty sliding foot in.
Ensure you are using the Hands Free Slip-ins™ feature correctly by pushing your heel down into the shoe. You may need to slightly flex your foot. If the shoe is new, it may require a brief break-in period.
Arch support feels uncomfortable initially.
The Arch Fit insole is designed to conform to your foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, ensure the insole is correctly positioned or consider using your own orthotics.
Mesh upper is dirty.
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoe. Allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are designed for immediate use. Simply slide your foot in. If a snugger fit is desired, you can adjust the laces, but this is not required for the hands-free function.
Compatibility:
- Foot Type: Best suited for individuals who require arch support. The removable Arch Fit insole allows for customization with orthotics if needed, though ensure they are compatible in size and shape.
- Activity Level: Ideal for walking, casual wear, and light fitness. Not recommended for intense sports requiring aggressive lateral movements or maximum ankle support.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the engineered mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Insole Care: The removable Arch Fit insole can be gently hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash or dry.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight to prevent material damage.
