Relaxed Fit® means the shoe offers a roomier fit in the toe and forefoot area compared to a standard fit, providing extra comfort without compromising the secure feel of the shoe.
How does the Heel Pillow™ work?

Are the laces adjustable?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Allow a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. The Relaxed Fit® design and Memory Foam should adapt to your foot shape over time.
Heel slips slightly.
Ensure the Heel Pillow™ is properly engaging your heel. Check if the shoe size is correct; a size too large can cause heel slippage. Fixed laces cannot be adjusted.
Difficulty slipping foot in.
Ensure you are using the Hands Free Slip-ins® feature correctly by pushing your heel fully back. The Heel Pillow™ is designed to hold the foot, so some initial resistance is normal.
Insole feels flat after some use.
The Air-Cooled Memory Foam® is designed to mold to your foot. If significant cushioning loss occurs, consider replacing the insole with a compatible aftermarket one, though this may affect the fit.
