To use these Dansko Penni Mesh shoes, simply slip them on and start walking. They're great for everyday activities or light sports. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently clean the mesh uppers with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the 3M Scotchgard™ treatment. Let the shoes air dry naturally. Also, make sure to keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use. As for the odor control, the Aegis® Microbe Shield will work on its own, but you can replace the insoles if the odor persists over time. These shoes are designed for comfort, so just enjoy your walks with them.
