These Dansko shoes are super easy to use. Just slip your feet in and you're ready to go. When wearing them, make sure your feet are clean to keep the odor control feature working well. As for maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dirt regularly. For stains, follow the 3M Scotchgard instructions. Don't expose the shoes to extreme heat or cold. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. Replace the removable footbed when it loses its support over time.
