Q: What if I step on the shoe to wear it and then notice that I don't have my foot centered correctly?

Q: How do I store the shoes when they are not being worn?
A: Do not put sandals together on the sticky side. They will adhere to one another and when pulled apart, it can tear up the shoe. Also do not put wax paper or saran wrap on them. Lay them side by side not touching on the sticky side to any other objects.
