FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for very hot weather?
The canvas material offers some breathability, making them comfortable for warm weather. However, for extreme heat, the open design might not be as cool as sandals.
Can I wear these shoes without socks?
Yes, these shoes are designed to be worn comfortably without socks. The memory foam insole provides a soft feel against the foot.
What is the warranty on these shoes?
Warranty information is typically handled by the retailer. Please refer to the point of purchase for details on warranty coverage.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their condition.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the canvas and jute materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What does 'Vegan' mean in the product description?
'Vegan' means that no animal products or by-products were used in the manufacturing of these shoes.
How often should I wash the insoles?
Wash the insoles as needed, when they appear dirty or an odor develops. Over-washing can potentially degrade the material over time.
Troubleshooting
Insole is dirty and needs cleaning.
Remove the CloudBound™ Rise insole and hand wash it with mild soap and cool water. Ensure it is completely dry before placing it back into the shoe.
Canvas upper has a stain.
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Shoes feel a bit tight.
Canvas can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions initially.
Slight odor developing.
Ensure the insoles are dry and clean. Remove insoles and air out the shoes. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing.
