## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do inserts purchased separately fit these shoes, or are regular inserts too narrow?**
A: I’m returning the shoes because the size ran small and a 11.5 is not offered. Quality of shoes seems nice but the the toe ends are VERY round in appearance. I would expect that a typical insert would likely not fit properly.

**Q: Can I machine wash these shoes? What are the recommended settings?**
A: Like most any fabric sneaker, washing is ok but use a gentle cycle and short wash time, cool water and when drying, placing both shoes in a dryer mesh bag should help them withstand the banging around in the dryer.

**Q: Do these dry out quickly when wet? (overnight)
I want to use these daily but will get wet running through streams**
A: It is a very breathable material. I have gotten them a little wet and they were dry by next day. I'm sure as long as there is adequate air or sun light they'll dry quick.

**Q: Would the grips / tread work for someone who works in the food industry who needs non slip?**
A: The soles are thin but grippy. I think they could work well in your job. Not much cushion for standing on concrete all day though.
