Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Hotter Gravity II shoes require minimal setup. Simply unlace them to a comfortable width, slide your feet in, and then tighten the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit. Ensure the tongue is centered and the heel is seated comfortably in the back of the shoe.
Compatibility
- Insoles: The removable insoles make these shoes highly compatible with custom orthotics or other personal insoles if you require specialized arch support or cushioning.
- Foot Width: Designed for a standard width fit. If you typically require a wider fit, try removing the existing insole to create a bit more room, or consider alternative sizing if available.
- Activity: Ideal for walking, standing, and general daily wear. While sporty in appearance, they are not intended for high-impact sports like running.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Gravity II shoes.
- Cleaning the Upper: The leather upper should be spot cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For scuffs, a leather cleaner or conditioner designed for casual shoes can be used.
- Cleaning the Lining: The textile lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
- Insoles: If the removable insoles become soiled or damp, remove them and allow them to air dry thoroughly before placing them back in the shoes.
- Sole: The PU sole can be cleaned with a brush and water to remove dirt and debris. Ensure good traction by keeping the sole clear.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
