FAQ

How do I prepare the ice packs?
The ice packs should be placed in the freezer for at least 30 mins prior to usage.

 

Can I microwave my ice packs?
Do not microwave the ice packs as this may lead to ice packs exploding.

 

How do I apply ice packs?
The ice packs are designed to be inserted in the pocket between two layers of the upper in the forefoot.

 

How long should I keep the ice pack in for?
While we do not recommend a specific time for icing therapy, our ice packs should stay cool for 10-15 mins.

 

How should I wear the strap (inside through the loops or over the tongue)?
The straps are designed to be worn either through the loops inside the tongue or over the tongue based on your preference.

 

Can I run in my Ance sneakers?
Ance sneakers are not designed for running or hiking.  While the heel counter should not slip during walking or jogging, running or hiking on uneven terrain can lead to heel slippage.

 

How can I wash them? Are they machine washable
Ance shoes are machine washable - wash in mesh wash bags in cold water; only air dry the sneakers.

 

How tight is too tight for the 360 degree strap
We don't recommend a certain tightness of the strap; please use your best judgment.
