Product Information

Full details

The VIVA Skye Flatform Small Wedge Sandals are designed for adults seeking a perfect blend of modern aesthetic and daily comfort. Featuring a 2-inch chunky platform sole, these sandals offer significant height and stability, making them an ideal choice for summer outings or casual events where you want both style and support. While the padded insole provides excellent cushioning for extended wear, users should be aware that the substantial platform design may require a brief break-in period for those unaccustomed to wearing flatform footwear.

FAQs

Are these sandals true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you typically fall between two sizes, consider the structure of the adjustable strap for a better fit.

Can I wear these for long walks?

The soft padded insole is designed for comfort, making them suitable for long walks, though personal comfort levels with platform heights vary.

How high is the platform sole?

The platform sole measures approximately 2 inches in height.

Is the material water-resistant?

While the rubber sole is durable, the upper material is best kept dry. Avoid submerging the sandals in water.

Are they easy to put on?

Yes, the buckle strap makes them easy to secure once you have found your ideal fit.

What is the best way to clean the insole?

A gentle wipe with a slightly damp, non-abrasive cloth is the best way to maintain the hygiene of the padded insole.

Troubleshooting

Buckle feels loose after walking

Ensure the prong of the buckle is fully seated in the desired adjustment hole and the strap is tucked securely into the keeper loop.

Soles feel slippery on smooth surfaces

The rubber ridges are designed for traction; if they appear slippery, ensure there is no buildup of dust or residue on the bottom and clean with a damp cloth if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant height without the instability of traditional heels
  • Adjustable ankle strap allows for a personalized fit
  • Padded insole provides superior comfort for extended periods
  • Versatile design matches well with both casual and smart-casual outfits
  • Durable rubber outsole ensures long-term wear and slip resistance

Cons

  • Chunky sole adds some weight compared to standard flat sandals
  • Closed-toe design may feel restrictive in extreme heat compared to open-toe styles
  • Requires initial adjustment if you are new to platform-sole footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your VIVA Skye sandals remain in top condition, follow these steps:

  1. Adjustment: Upon first wear, adjust the buckle to your preferred tightness. Ensure it is snug enough to hold the heel in place but loose enough to avoid chafing.
  2. Break-in: If the material feels stiff initially, wear them for shorter durations at home for the first few days to allow the materials to soften.
  3. Cleaning: Wipe the upper material with a damp cloth to remove dust. If the soles pick up debris, use a soft-bristled brush to clean the ridges of the rubber outsole.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature aging of the material and fading of the black color.
  5. Compatibility: These sandals pair effortlessly with denim, summer dresses, and cropped trousers.
