FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to clean these shoes by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to protect the leather and technical sole.
Can I replace the provided insole with my own orthotics?
Yes, the Simba Trainer II features a removable insole, making it compatible with most custom or aftermarket orthotic inserts.
Is the leather waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. It is advisable to use a leather protector spray if you plan to wear them in wet conditions.
Are these suitable for running?
These are primarily designed for walking and everyday activities, not for high-impact running or competitive athletics.
How should I choose the right size?
These follow standard UK sizing for adults. Use your most frequent sneaker size, keeping in mind that there should be a small amount of space at the toes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling unbalanced during the first wear
This is normal due to the MBT sole design. Continue wearing them for short periods daily until you become accustomed to the sensation.
Insole smells or feels damp
Remove the insole entirely and let it dry in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours. If needed, replace with a high-quality moisture-wicking insole.
Laces coming loose throughout the day
Ensure a double knot is tied or check that the eyelets are free of debris that might cause friction reduction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your MBT Simba Trainer II, follow these care steps:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for short durations over the first week to allow your muscles to adapt to the unique MBT sole.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and use a gentle brush on fabric sections to remove dirt.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can damage the leather and rubber components.
- Insole Care: Periodically remove the insole and allow it to air out to manage moisture buildup.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard adult foot widths; the secure lacing system allows for adjustments if you prefer a tighter or looser fit.
