FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for swimming?
Yes, the materials used are water-friendly and quick-drying, making them suitable for swimming and other water activities. The traction also helps on wet surfaces.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically involves measuring your foot length from heel to toe. The UNEEK design offers some adjustability, but starting with the correct size is crucial for comfort and fit.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn barefoot for optimal adaptation and breathability, some users may choose to wear thin, moisture-wicking socks with them. However, this may alter the intended secure fit.
How often should I clean the sandals?
Clean the sandals as needed, especially after exposure to sand, mud, or salt water. Regular hand washing with mild soap and cold water will help maintain their condition and odour control.
What is the Cleansport NXT™ technology?
Cleansport NXT™ is a probiotic-based technology that works naturally to break down odour-causing bacteria, helping to keep your footwear fresh without the use of harsh chemicals.
Will the cords stretch out over time?
The polyester braided cord with a nylon core is designed for durability and minimal stretch. The fit is maintained through the secure lace catch system, which allows for re-adjustment.
Are these good for long-distance walking or hiking?
They offer good comfort and support for moderate distances and varied terrain. For very long-distance hikes or extremely rugged trails, footwear with more robust ankle support and protection might be preferable.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace tension using the secure fit lace catch system. If the sandal still feels ill-fitting, ensure you have the correct size; refer to sizing guides for precise measurements.
Discomfort on the arch
The Metatomic footbed is designed to provide arch support. Ensure the sandal is properly adjusted. If discomfort persists, it may indicate the footbed shape does not match your specific foot contour.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, performance can be affected by wear. Ensure the outsole is clean. If significant wear is visible, consider replacement.
Cords feel stiff after drying
This is normal for synthetic materials. Wear the sandals for a short period to allow them to soften and conform to your feet again. Avoid drying near excessive heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These sandals are designed for adult use and are suitable for a wide range of casual outdoor activities. They are compatible with wet environments due to their quick-drying materials and drainage features.
Care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Do not machine wash or dry.
- Odour Control: Cleansport NXT™ helps manage odor naturally. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat to preserve the integrity of the materials. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
