FAQs
How do I adjust the fit of the Original Universal Sandals?
The sandals feature hook-and-loop straps across the forefoot and ankle. Simply unfasten, adjust the position, and re-fasten them to achieve your desired snugness.
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
While they offer good comfort and traction for light walks and trails, they are not designed for strenuous hiking. They lack the advanced support and protection needed for challenging terrain.
Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?
Yes, the materials are generally suitable for saltwater. However, it is recommended to rinse them with fresh water after exposure and air dry them thoroughly to maintain their condition.
What is the best way to clean the sandals?
Clean by hand with cold water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The Original Universal Sandals have a relatively flat footbed and offer minimal built-in arch support. Individuals requiring significant arch support may find them less suitable for extended wear.
How durable are the straps?
The hook-and-loop straps are designed for repeated use. Keeping them clean and free from debris will help maintain their grip and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel uncomfortable or cause rubbing
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps to find a looser, more comfortable fit. Ensure no fabric is bunched up under the straps. If irritation persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
Exercise caution on extremely smooth, wet surfaces. The traction is designed for general use; for highly slippery conditions, alternative footwear might be more appropriate.
Sandals do not dry quickly
Ensure sandals are exposed to air circulation. Hang them or place them in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them while damp.
