The 2001 Parallel and Crossroads tend to run approximately half a size small. If you're between sizes, Goodsole recommends trying the size up.

The clever part is the removable dual-footbed system, which also lets you fine-tune the amount of room inside your sneakers.

Goodsole Parallel and Crossroads aren't specifically classified as wide-fit sneakers, but their removable dual-footbed system gives you some flexibility with the fit.

For a snugger fit and maximum cushioning, wear both footbeds. If you need a little more room through the shoe, remove the bottom foam layer to create extra internal space.

We've also found plenty of Goodsole wearers with wider feet who use this feature to adjust the fit to suit them.

Yes. Both supplied footbeds are removable. Goodsole recommends removing both footbeds and replacing them with your own custom orthotics.

Because orthotics vary considerably in shape, thickness and volume, the final fit will depend on your particular orthotic.

It's one of our favourite Goodsole features.

The dual-density system combines a cushioned upper layer with a firmer lower layer for structure and stability. Having two removable layers also lets you customise the fit:

Both footbeds: maximum cushioning and a snugger fit.

Remove the lower layer: creates more room inside the shoe.

Remove both: makes room for your own orthotics.

Goodsole's dual-density footbed combines a cushioned upper layer with a firmer base layer designed to provide structure and stability underfoot.

If you require specific arch support, both footbeds can be removed to accommodate your own custom orthotics.

Comfort is at the heart of Goodsole's design. The antimicrobial dual-density footbed combines cushioning with a firmer base layer for structure and stability.

Comfort is personal, of course, but one of the strongest themes we've seen from Goodsole wearers is just how comfortable they find them for everyday and extended wear.

Nicole says they are 10,000 step approved!

Many Goodsole wearers tell us they find their sneakers comfortable straight out of the box, with little or no wearing-in period. As with any shoe, though, every foot is different and your experience may vary.

Goodsole's Lightning Lace System is designed for quick, easy on-and-off wear — one of the features that makes the Parallel such an easy everyday sneaker.

Yes - for everyday workplaces where sneakers are appropriate.

Their combination of comfort and contemporary styling makes Goodsoles an easy choice for everyday workwear, particularly if you're on your feet throughout the day. They're also easy to style with everything from casual pants and denim to dresses and more polished work outfits.

Goodsoles are lifestyle sneakers and aren't sold as occupational safety footwear, so always follow your workplace's footwear requirements.

If you're between sizes, Goodsole recommends going up to the nearest whole size. Both Parallel and Crossroads tend to run approximately half a size small.

Remember, you can also fine-tune the internal room using the removable footbeds.

Goodsole recommends applying a suede-appropriate waterproofing spray before first wear and maintaining the suede with regular dry brushing. Avoid putting your Goodsoles in the washing machine, as machine washing is likely to alter the properties of the materials.

No. Goodsole sneakers aren't sold as waterproof footwear. Goodsole recommends treating them before their first wear with a waterproofing spray suitable for the material and reapplying it periodically.
