FAQs

How do the Hands Free Slip-ins® work?

The design incorporates a uniquely shaped heel counter and internal structure that cradles your foot, allowing you to step in effortlessly without bending or using your hands. The Heel Pillow® ensures comfort and stability during entry.

Are these suitable for serious running?

They are designed for comfort and efficiency in running-style activities, including light jogging and daily wear. For high-intensity or marathon running, a shoe with more specific performance features might be preferred.

How should I wash these trainers?

You can machine wash them on a gentle cycle with cold water. It is best to air dry them afterwards and avoid using heat.

What does 'vegan' mean for these shoes?

It means the shoes are constructed entirely without animal-derived materials or by-products. This includes the upper, midsole, outsole, and any adhesives used.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, the laces can be replaced if they become worn or if you prefer a different style. However, the primary functionality is the slip-on feature.

What is M-Strike® technology?

M-Strike® is a technology integrated into the midsole that promotes a smoother transition from your heel strike to toe-off, encouraging a more efficient stride and reducing impact.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Since they are slip-ins, ensure there is enough room for your foot to slide in comfortably without being too tight or too loose. The heel should feel secure once on, and the laces can be used for fine-tuning the fit.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty slipping shoe on

Ensure your heel is positioned correctly. Loosen the laces slightly if needed. The Heel Pillow® might require a few wears to fully conform.

Slightly loose fit

Adjust the laces for a tighter, more personalized fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size.

Uneven wear on outsole

This could indicate an irregular stride. Consider how you walk in the shoes; M-Strike® technology aims to correct this over time. If persistent, consult a footwear specialist.

Mesh upper shows dirt easily

Follow the machine washable care instructions. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
