FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The F-Mode sandals feature an adjustable ankle strap which offers some flexibility. However, they are designed on a standard width last. If you have significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on if possible, or consider FitFlop's range of wider-fitting options if available.
Can I wear these for a lot of walking or standing?
Yes, these sandals are specifically engineered with Microwobbleboard™ technology for all-day comfort, making them excellent for extended periods of walking or standing. They have also received the APMA Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather gently with a slightly damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning or to maintain the leather's suppleness, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions and testing on a hidden area first.
What is Microwobbleboard™ technology?
Microwobbleboard™ is FitFlop's original triple-density sole technology. It features firm cushioning at the heel, soft cushioning in the midfoot, and medium cushioning at the toes, designed to diffuse pressure, absorb shock, and support natural foot movement.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The sandals are not waterproof. While the sole provides grip, the leather upper can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and allow them to air dry naturally if they get damp.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance is granted to products found to be beneficial for good foot health and safe for general use. It indicates that the footwear has been evaluated by podiatric professionals.
Can the ankle strap be removed?
No, the ankle strap is a fixed design element for adjustability and fit and cannot be removed.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff initially.
Leather may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The Microwobbleboard™ sole will also conform to your foot's natural shape over time.
Difficulty adjusting the buckle.
Ensure the buckle prong is correctly inserted into one of the holes. If the strap feels tight, loosen it slightly before fastening. If the buckle is stiff, try gently flexing it.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the foot and the insole or the insole and the midsole. Ensure feet and sandals are dry. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole (if removable) or on the footbed might help, but use sparingly.
Discoloration on the leather.
This could be due to excess moisture or contact with certain substances. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, consult a leather care specialist or use a dedicated leather cleaner designed for your leather type.
