FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some traction, the outer fabric is not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The outer fabric is listed as 'Fabric'. The lining is made of 70% bamboo and 30% microfibre.
Can I replace the insole?
Yes, the shoes come with a removable microfibre insole, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed.
How do I clean the bamboo lining?
The lining can be spot cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the shoes are thoroughly air-dried afterwards.
What type of activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best for casual wear, daily activities, and comfortable walking on urban surfaces. They are not designed for strenuous athletic activities.
What does 'Comfort last' mean?
A 'Comfort last' refers to the shoe's mold or form, designed to provide a spacious and comfortable fit that accommodates the natural shape of the foot.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is flat, prioritizing stability and a grounded feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If the issue persists, check if the insole is positioned correctly or consider if the size is appropriate.
Discomfort with flat heel
The shoes feature a flat heel for stability. If you require more arch support, consider using the removable insole for a custom orthotic insert.
Slight stiffness in new shoes
New shoes can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Fabric showing wear
Regular cleaning and conditioning (if applicable to the specific fabric) can help maintain the appearance. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or abrasive conditions.
