Fit & Care Notes:

• Fit: Runs true to size for most wearers, though due to the elevated platform and wide sole footprint, narrower-foot wearers may prefer half a size down.

• Care: Wipe mesh and nylon upper gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed; use a soft brush for the tread grooves; avoid machine washing.

• Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat to preserve materials and the worn-effect finish.
