These Dansko Patti shoes are easy to use. Just slip them on and you're ready for your outdoor activities. When wearing them, make sure your feet are clean and dry to keep the odor control working well. Avoid wearing them in extremely harsh environments that could damage the waterproof coating. To maintain these shoes, clean the dirt on the surface with a soft brush and a little mild soap regularly. After cleaning, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb the moisture and help them keep their shape. Replace the removable footbed if it loses its cushioning over time.
