FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, the Elidi range is designed to standard UK sizing, providing a consistent fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the sole provides good grip, the faux leather material is not waterproof and should be kept dry to preserve longevity.
How do I adjust the ankle strap?
Simply feed the strap through the buckle and secure the prong into the most comfortable hole for your ankle width.
Is the material real leather?
No, these sandals are crafted from high-quality faux leather, which is durable and easier to maintain.
Can I use these for long walks?
The cushioned footbed and secure strap design are suitable for extended daily wear and walking.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose after walking
Ensure the prong is securely engaged in the strap hole; if the strap is too loose, check for an additional hole or punch a new one.
Material feels stiff
Gently massage the faux leather straps to soften them, or wear with thin socks inside the house for an hour a day until flexible.
Soles collecting debris
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear dirt from the gaps in the cleated sole after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals remain in top condition, follow these simple care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the faux leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or mud. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
- Break-in: If the straps feel slightly stiff initially, wear them for short periods around the house with socks to allow the material to soften.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the faux leather from cracking or fading over time.
- Compatibility: These sandals pair effortlessly with casual trousers, denim shorts, or flowy summer dresses, making them a highly compatible addition to any warm-weather wardrobe.
