FAQs
Can I use these for running?
These shoes are primarily designed for casual lifestyle use. They are not intended for high-intensity running or track performance.
How should I clean the Crater Foam midsole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the recycled foam composite.
Does the size run true to size?
The knit upper tends to have a flexible, sock-like fit. Many users find it true to size, but those who prefer a looser fit might consider half a size up.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the knitted material is porous. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from Space Waste Yarn, which is recycled polyester derived from plastic bottles and factory scraps.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels loose after extended wear
Re-lace the shoes using a runner's loop to secure the heel, or use a slightly thicker sock to improve fit.
Surface dirt caught in knit pattern
Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the dirt out of the weave before using any cleaning solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Space Hippie 01 is constructed from recycled yarn and foam, it requires specific maintenance. Avoid machine washing or machine drying, as high heat and agitation can degrade the structural integrity of the recycled materials. To clean the upper, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and water solution applied with a cloth. Store these shoes in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the recycled components from becoming brittle or discolored over time.
