Hotter Tourist II - Black - UK 5

No, these sandals are not designed for wet conditions. The leather uppers and cork sole can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly.

The key to the best fit is utilizing the adjustable buckle straps. Fully open the straps, place your foot, and then individually adjust each buckle until the sandal feels snug and secure without being too tight. The elastication provides flexibility.

These sandals are designed for comfort during 'days out at the beach' and general casual wear. While comfortable for moderate walking, they are not intended for demanding long walks or hiking where more specialized support and protection would be required.

To clean the cork sole, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. You can use a very mild soap solution if needed, but avoid saturating the cork. Allow the sole to air dry completely away from direct heat.

The Hotter Tourist II Sandals feature a comfortable heel height of 30mm, which is approximately 1 1/2 inches.

The soft microfibre padded insole is integrated into the sandal design and is intended to mold to your foot for blissful cushioning. It is not designed to be removed for orthotics.

Utilize the adjustable buckle straps. Open them fully, reposition your foot, and then tighten or loosen each strap individually until a comfortable, secure fit is achieved. The elasticated nature of the straps allows for minor flexibility.

The microfibre padded insole is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the insole to break in and conform to your unique foot shape, improving comfort.

New footwear, especially with different sole materials like cork and rubber, can sometimes make slight squeaking sounds as they break in. This usually subsides with regular wear. Ensure your feet are dry, as moisture can sometimes exacerbate this.

For light stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a leather-specific cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

While the rubber sole provides good grip, extreme wet or polished surfaces can still be slippery. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.
