FAQs

Are these sandals true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the fit depends on your foot width and preferred roominess.

Can I get the footbed wet?

It is best to avoid getting the cork footbed wet, as moisture can damage the structural integrity of the cork.

How do I clean the surface?

Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap for tougher spots.

Is the sole non-slip?

The outsole is designed for durable wear on most standard surfaces, providing reliable traction for daily walking.

Will these fit if I have wide feet?

The dual strap design is highly adjustable, allowing for a comfortable fit for many different foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Footbed feels too stiff initially

The cork-latex footbed requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to mold to your foot shape.

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the metal buckles to create a tighter or looser fit depending on your foot volume; the straps should be set so your foot remains stable while walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, adjust the straps while seated so that your foot sits securely within the heel cup and forefoot ridges. The straps should be snug but not restrictive. Regarding care, avoid exposing your sandals to extreme heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can damage the cork. If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. It is recommended to store your sandals in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the natural materials over time.
