What is the heel height of these sandals?

What materials are used in these sandals?

Can I wear these sandals to the beach?
Yes, they are described as perfect for days out at the beach and other summer activities, offering comfort and style. However, avoid prolonged exposure to saltwater or submerging them completely.
How should I clean the cork sole?
The cork sole can be gently wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or saturating the cork with water to prevent damage.
Is a break-in period required?
While designed for comfort, a short break-in period may help the cork sole naturally mold to the specific contours of your foot for optimal personalized comfort.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the rounded square buckles. The straps are elasticated, so ensure you find a balance where they are secure but still allow for natural foot movement without constricting.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Check that the straps are not overtightened. Allow a short break-in period for the cork sole and padded insole to fully conform to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size; these sandals feature a wide fitting for extra room.
Sandal feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Inspect the rubber sole for excessive wear, especially on wet or polished floors. The rubber sole provides good grip, but exercise caution on very slippery surfaces. Clean any dirt or debris from the sole.
Sandal develops an odor.
Allow the sandals to air out fully after each wear. For the microfibre padded insole, gently clean with a mild soap solution and ensure it dries completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside (and then vacuumed out) to absorb odors.
Leather looks dull or dry.
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner. This will help moisturize and restore the leather's natural luster and flexibility.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Tourist II sandals.
- Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Cork Sole: The cork sole can be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the cork in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the material.
- Textile Lining: For the microfibre padded insole, a gentle spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth can remove surface dirt. Allow to air dry completely before wearing again.
- Rubber Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with water and a brush to remove any debris or dirt.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them lightly with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
