FAQs
What makes the Speedcat Wedge different from the original Speedcat?
The Speedcat Wedge features a concealed wedge heel for added height and a more elevated, stylish silhouette, along with statement hook-and-loop straps, differentiating it from the classic Speedcat design.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable for everyday wear, the Speedcat Wedge is primarily designed for casual fashion and lifestyle use, not for intense athletic training. The wedge heel is not optimized for sports performance.
How do I clean the metallic accents?
Gently wipe the metallic accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any liquid cleaners or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
What type of fit can I expect?
These trainers have a regular width and a rounded toe for a standard, comfortable fit. The adjustable straps allow for further customization of the fit.
Can the hook-and-loop straps be fully detached?
The hook-and-loop straps are an integral part of the design for adjustability and secure fit and cannot be fully detached.
What material is used for comfort?
The trainers utilize IMEVA (Integrated Molded EVA) material, which is known for providing a lightweight and comfortable feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the hook-and-loop straps. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if socks are too thick.
Straps not secure
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure the strap.
Uneven wear on the sole
Check your gait and walking style. Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (casual wear) and not strenuous athletic activities.
Metallic accents losing shine
Gently wipe the metallic areas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. The regular width and rounded toe are designed for standard foot shapes. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation.
