Mesh Maintenance

Mesh

A mesh or synthetic suede upper, like the OluKai Pehueah Li, can be machine washed. To do so, remove the insole and tie the laces as though you were tying your shoe. Machine wash on a gentle cycle. Let air dry.

Do you have the paper insert that came with your shoe? They serve a purpose! Place them inside the shoe while air drying to help maintain shape and dry faster.

Steps to care and maintain.

STEP 1
Remove Laces & Insoles

Laces may get tangled and memory foam insoles will ruin in the wash.

Step 2
Use Liquid Detergent

Use a tiny amount of liquid detergent because powdered detergent can cause irritation.

Step 3
Wash on Delicate/Light

Set washer on a delicate cycle using only cold water to help preserve the longevity and prevent shrinking or warping.

Step 4
Air Dry

Do not use the dryer for your shoes. Dry them outside or indoors, but remember to keep them out of direct sunlight to avoid bleaching or damaging the fabric.
