This unique idea offers support and cushioning for people who suffer from bunions. This panel offers extra cushioning and actually stretches to help support and relieve pressure on the bunion. Furthermore, the Magic Stretch panel works to hide the bunion making it less noticeable from the outside of the shoe.

The insoles of all Hallux by Fidelio shoes are constructed using natural cork that is ECO-certified, meaning the cork trees are harvested using a sustainable method that allows them to be harvested again and again without destroying the tree. The insoles and shoes are shaped using what the company refers to as "broken last" technology, meaning that the last are slightly wider at the forefoot and taper down to a narrower heel. Combined with the natural cork insole, this allows the foot to be positioned correctly in the shoe, which allows for fatigue free walking throughout the day. Hallux by Fidelio shoes also feature a deep heel cup which provides the shoe with added stability. Also, most Hallux by Fidelio's insoles are removable allowing for custom orthopedic inserts.

Hallux by Fidelio shoes also offer light-weight polyurethane air-cushioned soles. The construction of the soles enable a dynamic rolling motion of the foot with each step taken. The air-cushioned soles also provide added stability along both sides of the shoe, providing support and aiding in proper foot placement with every step.

Shoe Care: Cleaning your suede shoes.

Cleaning suede shoes

Suede is a type of leather with a velvety raised surface called a "nap". This nap causes suede to spoil and show signs of wear more easily than normal leather, so special care needs to be taken to extend the life of your suede shoes and keep them looking great. The steps below will show you how to care for suede without causing shrinkage or further damage to the material.

To properly clean suede shoes, you will need the following supplies.

  • Suede protector spray - This should be used on shoes to waterproof them and to offer some protection from stains. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions on the side of the can.
  • Suede cleaning brush - Used to remove dirt and bring the nap of the suede back up.
  • Small knife- If the suede is very worn, the knife can be used to carefully scrape the nap back up in shiny worn areas.
  • Nail brush - The nail brush's stiff bristles can be used to remove dried, caked on mud from suede.
  • Sponge - The sponge is needed if you have to try to repair water damaged suede.
  • Pencil eraser - An eraser can help to remove dirt marks on suede.
To clean your suede shoes you would start by using a suede cleaning brush to remove any dust and to bring the nap back up. If there are areas that are worn and appear shiny, focus on them, brushing in the same direction with each stroke. If the areas are extremely worn, you can use a small knife to carefully scrape the nap back up and then continue with the suede cleaning brush.

If your shoes have dirt spots, you can use a pencil eraser to remove the spot from the suede. Rub the eraser across the spot in the same direction, the dirt spot will transfer from the shoe to the eraser. Brush any eraser remnants off the shoe.

If there is caked-on mud on the suede shoes, wait until the mud has completely dried and use a stiff bristled brush, such as a nail brush to remove all mud from the shoes. Pay special attention to the seams and any areas that may be hard to reach.

If your suede shoes become wet, they may show spotting or discoloration in relation to the dry areas. To remedy this, wet the shoes all over and remove excess water with a sponge. Use a shoe tree or stuff the toes with white unprinted paper to keep the shape of the shoe. Allow the shoe to dry overnight and then brush with a suede brush to restore the nap.

Stains on suede can be difficult to remove. Attempt to remove with a suede brush, if necessary, a bit of water may help lift the stain.

Once the shoes are cleaned, spray with a suede protection spray according to the directions on the can.

Shoe Care: How to polish your leather shoes.

Polishing leather shoes.

Polishing leather shoes can revive worn leather and extend the life of the shoe. In addition to regular cleanings, leather shoes should be cleaned whenever they become soiled to prevent stains or caked on dirt.

Here is a list of the supplies needed to properly polish a pair of leather shoes:

Shoe polish - Either wax polish or cream polish. Wax polish will help to waterproof the shoes while cream polish will keep the leather supple. You should alternate polish types with each polishing, using wax polish one time and cream polish the next.

Natural bristle hand brush - Used to remove dirt and dust from the shoe before polishing. You can also have a second one on hand for polishing the shoe.

Toothbrush and a soft cloth - Used to apply polish. The toothbrush can be used to ensure polish is applied into creases and other spots that are hard to reach with just a cloth. The cloth can be used to apply polish to the entire shoe.

Chamois - Used to enhance the shine on shoes after being polished with a brush.

1. To polish your leather shoes, remove the laces if the shoe has them, to make sure the tongue is polished as well.

2. Use a brush or soft cloth to remove any dust or dirt that has accumulated on the shoes.

3. Use a toothbrush to apply polish to creases and hard to reach areas. Then use a cloth to apply polish to worn areas. Let the shoe sit for a few minutes to absorb the polish.

4. Use a natural bristle brush to briskly brush the leather to shine the shoes.

5. Touch up the polish with a chamois to bring out extra shine and remove any excess polish so it does not stain clothing that comes in contact with the shoe.
