Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff initially
The cork insole requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time as they mold to your foot.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is securely fastened.
Discoloration on cork insole
This can occur due to sweat and moisture. Clean the cork gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid wearing in very wet conditions.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the EVA sole is clean. For initial use or on very smooth surfaces, walk with caution until accustomed to the grip.
