FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Hotter Tourist II Cork Wedge Sandals feature a wide fitting design, offering enhanced comfort and space for wider feet. The adjustable buckle straps further help in customizing the fit.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these sandals in heavy rain or very wet conditions. The leather upper and cork sole can be damaged by excessive moisture. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
How do I clean the cork sole?
You can clean the cork sole by gently wiping it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the cork material.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The heel height of the Hotter Tourist II Cork Wedge Sandals is 33mm, which is approximately 1 1/2 inches.
Do the straps stretch over time?
The straps are elasticated to provide flexibility, but the primary material is leather, which will soften and slightly conform to your foot over time with wear. The buckle allows for consistent adjustment if needed.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
Thanks to their soft microfibre padded insole and wide fitting, these sandals are designed for superior comfort and are well-suited for extended periods of walking during casual days out or travel. They provide good cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose
Fully unbuckle the straps and re-adjust the buckle position. The elasticated section allows for minor flex, but the primary adjustment is made via the buckle to secure the foot comfortably.
Foot slides forward or backward
Ensure the straps are adjusted firmly enough to hold your foot in place without being constrictive. The wide fitting is designed for comfort, but proper strap tension is key for stability.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets between the footbed and your foot, or from new materials settling. Try applying a small amount of foot powder if it's skin-related. If it's the sandal material, continued wear often resolves this as materials break in. Ensure they are dry.
Leather appears dull or discolored
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. If necessary, use a leather conditioner or polish specifically designed for the color and type of leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Cork sole looks worn or damaged
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently. For significant damage, professional repair might be an option. Prevent future damage by avoiding rough surfaces and harsh impacts.
