These Dansko women's black Parson shoes are easy to use. Just slip them on and go! They're great for all your outdoor activities like walking around town or hiking on trails. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to clean the dirt off the uppers. For stains on the waterproof suede and nubuck, follow the instructions on the 3M Scotchgard™ protector. Keep them in a dry place when not in use. Don't machine wash them as it may damage the waterproof construction and the special treatments on the linings and uppers. Also, remember to replace the removable footbed if it loses its cushioning over time to keep your feet comfortable.
