FAQs
Are the Uji sandals waterproof?

Can I replace the insoles?

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the anatomical cork-latex footbed provides significant arch support which is often beneficial for those with flat feet.
How should I clean the suede upper?

How long will they last?
With proper care and storage, the durable construction and high-quality materials are designed to provide years of regular wear.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too hard during initial use
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods at home to allow the material to soften and break in.
Surface dirt on suede
Gently brush the area with a dry suede brush in the direction of the nap to lift dirt without damaging the material.
Straps not holding tension
Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for debris or lint. Clean the hooks with a soft brush to restore their gripping power.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Avoid submerging the sandals in water; suede can stiffen or discolor.
- Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust periodically.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the cork from drying out.
- If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry completely.
