FAQs
Is the insole removable?
The Swing2GO insole is designed as an integral part of the comfort system. It is generally recommended to keep the original insole to maintain the specific arch support benefits.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. Use a leather-safe water repellent spray if you anticipate walking in damp conditions.
What is the benefit of the EVA inlet?
The EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) inlet is an ultra-light material that acts as a shock absorber, helping to reduce the impact on your joints while walking.
Does the size 5 fit true to size?
Yes, but due to the 'comfort width' construction, the fit may feel slightly more spacious than standard width trainers. If you are between sizes, this design typically favors those who prefer a bit of extra room.
How do I clean the micro velour lining?
Use a slightly damp cloth to gently blot the interior. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers.
Can these be worn for light exercise?
These trainers are primarily designed for walking and casual daily use. While supportive, they are not intended for high-intensity gym workouts or running.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness across the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing pattern at the midfoot to allow the leather to expand, taking advantage of the comfort-width design.
Slippage in the heel area
Re-lace the shoes using the top eyelet to create a more secure 'heel lock' fit.
Leather appearing dull
Apply a small amount of neutral leather cream or polish to restore the sheen and maintain the material's suppleness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, initial setup involves adjusting the laces to match your foot volume for the best 'comfort width' experience. To maintain the leather exterior, wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth after use and avoid submerging the shoes in water. To preserve the longevity of the Swing2GO insole, remove the shoes by undoing the laces rather than pushing them off with your heels, which can damage the internal structure of the heel counter. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying or fading.
