FAQs
How do I adjust the strap for the best fit?
The strap features a hook-and-loop fastening. Simply lift the hook side, slide the strap to your desired tightness, and press the hook side back down to secure. Adjust until you find a snug but comfortable fit that prevents slipping.
Are these sliders suitable for hiking?
The Gumtread™ outsole provides good grip for light trails and varied terrain. However, they are primarily designed for casual wear and are not intended for strenuous or technical hiking. For rugged terrain, a dedicated hiking boot is recommended.
How is the recycled rubber outsole environmentally friendly?
The outsole is made from recycled rubber, diverting waste from landfills. It is further reinforced with biodegradable jute fibres, enhancing durability while minimizing environmental impact.
What is the 'Plant a Tree' initiative?
Through a partnership with VERDN, each purchase of Gumbies Strider Sliders results in one mangrove tree being planted in Africa. This initiative supports local employment and environmental conservation.
Can I wear these sliders in water?
While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water is not recommended as it may affect the longevity of the materials and adhesive. They are suitable for splashes near pools or at the beach but should be rinsed and dried afterward.
What is the best way to clean the cotton canvas lining?
Gently wipe the lining with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the cotton fibres. Allow to air dry completely.
Do these sliders offer arch support?
Yes, the Strider Sliders feature a contoured footbed designed to follow the natural shape of the foot, providing moderate arch support for enhanced comfort during casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Sliders feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is properly aligned before tightening.
Soles have reduced grip.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction. Ensure the soles are completely dry before use.
Material seems stiff after initial wear.
The cotton canvas lining may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially, and the material will soften with use.
