The VIVA Skye Flatform Sandals are ideal for women seeking a blend of modern style and everyday comfort during warm-weather months. These sandals offer a significant height boost with their 2-inch platform sole and ensure a secure fit via an adjustable buckle strap, though the fixed structure may require a brief breaking-in period for those unaccustomed to platform footwear.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The criss-cross front design offers some flexibility, but the closed nature of the strap may feel snug for those with very wide feet.
Can I wear these for long periods of walking?
The padded insole is designed for comfort, but as they are platform sandals, they are better suited for moderate walking rather than strenuous hikes.
How do I determine my size?
The VIVA Skye series follows standard UK sizing; order your usual footwear size.
Are these waterproof?
While the rubber outsole is water-resistant, the straps are not designed for full submersion; avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Does the platform feel unstable?
The wide surface area of the 2-inch platform is engineered for stability, making it much easier to balance on than a standard wedge or stiletto.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels loose around the heel
Adjust the buckle strap to a tighter hole setting for a more secure fit.
Slippery feeling on the sole
Ensure the rubber tread is free of debris; if the sole is brand new, walk on a rough surface like concrete for a short time to scuff the rubber and improve grip.
Discomfort or rubbing at the heel
Use a small amount of anti-friction balm or a heel protector pad until the material softens with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the heel buckle so the strap sits comfortably against your ankle without digging in or slipping off. Since these sandals are made of synthetic materials, they are generally easy to maintain. To clean, wipe down the upper straps with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. For the rubber outsole, use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge any debris caught in the treads. Avoid submerging the sandals in water or using harsh chemicals, as this may degrade the padding and the adhesive on the platform sole. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
