Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slippery after long usage
Check the outsole for trapped debris or grit. Clean with a soft brush and fresh water to restore grip effectiveness.
Shoes are retaining moisture
Ensure they are allowed to air dry completely. If the interior remains damp, remove the insole to speed up the evaporation process.
Fit feels too loose
Adjust the recycled laces to utilize the full structure of the padded heel for a more locked-in feel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for immediate wear with no break-in period required. To maintain their performance, ensure the laces are tightened securely to leverage the built-in heel padding. After saltwater exposure, rinse the shoes with fresh water to prevent salt crystallization, which can wear down the materials over time. Air dry the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the hydrophobic materials and adhesives.
