FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and avoid saturating the material with water.
Will the cork footbed mold to my feet?
Yes, the cork-latex footbed is designed to gradually mold to the unique contours of your foot with wear, providing personalized support and comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Tokio II features a regular fit, which is designed for standard foot widths. While adjustable, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material and affect its appearance. The EVA outsole offers some grip, but the suede upper is not waterproof.
How do I adjust the fit?
You can adjust the fit by loosening or tightening the metal buckles on both the front strap and the heel strap. This allows for a customized fit across the forefoot and around the ankle.
What is the sole made of?
The outsole is made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), which provides lightweight flexibility and cushioning.
How high is the sole?
The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal as the cork-latex footbed needs a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the footbed molds to your foot's unique shape.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For more persistent dirt or stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckles on the front and heel straps until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the heel strap is snug enough to prevent slippage.
Footbed gets wet.
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Do not use hairdryers or place them in direct sunlight, as this can damage the cork and suede.

Care:
- Suede Upper: Clean with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet; if it does get wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cork-Latex Footbed: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the footbed.
- Footbed Lining (Natural Leather/Suede): Gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for suede if needed.
- EVA Outsole: Clean with mild soap and water.
