FAQs
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is made of suede.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is recommended to use a suede protectant spray.
What makes the midsole special?
The Vr3cush™ midsole is made from at least 50% EVA foam, providing cushioning and comfort.
How much recycled material is in the lining?
The lining contains at least 30% recycled materials.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can damage the material and the shoe's structure.
What is the benefit of the elasticated side inserts?
The elasticated side inserts allow for easy slip-on access and help to provide a secure, comfortable fit around the foot.
How do I clean the outsole?
The Vr3waffle™ outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to clean surface dirt. For tougher stains, try a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the material. Apply a suede protector after cleaning.
Shoes feel too loose.
The elasticated side inserts offer some flexibility. For a snugger fit, consider using insoles or thicker socks. The mule design inherently offers less structure than a traditional shoe.
Sole feels slippery on wet surfaces.
While the Vr3waffle™ outsole provides grip, performance on very wet surfaces may vary. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. Use caution in wet conditions.
