    Purestep Shoe Size Guide and Cleaning Tips

    How to Measure Your Feet for the Best Fit

    A precise fit supports comfort and longevity. Use this quick measuring method:

    1. Length: Place a sheet of paper against a wall. Stand with your heel touching the wall, mark the tip of your longest toe, then measure from the wall to the mark.

    2. Width: Measure across the widest part of your foot.

    3. Both Feet: One foot is often a touch larger—base your size on the bigger foot.

    4. Match to the Chart: Compare your measurements to our size guide. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a roomier feel—especially if you wear socks.

    Tips for Finding Your Perfect Fit

    Sock Thickness: Prefer thicker socks? Consider going up half a size for extra space.

    Daily Swelling: Feet are slightly larger later in the day. Measure in the afternoon or evening for accuracy.

    Width Matters: If your feet are wide, look for wide-fit options or a generous toe box.

    If you fall between two sizes, choose the larger one. For example, if you’re sometimes a 7 and sometimes a 7.5, we suggest ordering the 7.5.

    Cleaning & Odor Care for Barefoot Shoes

    Barefoot shoes benefit from gentle maintenance so they stay fresh and keep their shape. Use this straightforward routine:

    1. Preparation

    Brush off loose dirt. Remove insoles and laces to wash separately.

    2. Protective Measures

    Place shoes, insoles, and laces in a mesh laundry bag to minimize abrasion.

    3. Washing Instructions

    Cycle: Select a delicate/gentle cycle to reduce agitation.

    Water: Use cold water to help prevent shrinkage and fading.

    Detergent: Choose a mild, dye-free, fragrance-free detergent to protect materials and avoid irritation.

    4. Drying Process

    Air Dry: Reshape and let shoes dry at room temperature. Avoid radiators, dryers, or direct sun.

    Insoles & Laces: Allow them to dry fully before reinserting.

    Odor Prevention Tips for Barefoot Shoes

    Because many barefoot shoes use natural materials, they can hold onto moisture. Keep them fresh with these habits:

    1. Regular Airing: After wear, remove insoles and let everything breathe in a dry, ventilated space.

    2. Baking Soda: Sprinkle a small amount inside the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Shake out in the morning.

    3. Essential Oils: For a light, clean scent, place a cotton ball with a drop of tea tree or lavender oil inside overnight. 

    What to Avoid When Cleaning Barefoot Shoes

    1. Aggressive Scrubbing: Can damage flexible uppers.

    2. Direct Sun/High Heat: Weakens and warps materials.

    3. Harsh Cleaners/Bleach: Stick to gentle detergents.

    4. Long Soaks: Prolonged soaking can invite mold; use an anti-mold spray if needed instead.
