FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Karrimor Ithaca sandals feature adjustable straps that allow for a degree of width customization. However, they are designed to fit a standard adult male foot profile. It is recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these for light water sports?
These sandals are designed for walking and hiking, and can handle splashes or walking through shallow water. They are not intended for prolonged submersion or aggressive water sports as they may not dry quickly and could lose traction when saturated.
How do I clean the footbed?
The footbed can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth. Rinse gently and allow to air dry completely.
What is the grip like on muddy trails?
The robust sole provides good grip on most surfaces, including moderately muddy trails. However, deep mud may reduce traction. Keeping the sole clean will help maintain optimal grip.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The Karrimor Ithaca sandals are designed with general support in mind for walking. For users requiring specific arch support, consider using aftermarket insoles.
What is the best way to break in these sandals?
It's recommended to wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Adjust the straps for a comfortable fit during the break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel uncomfortable or rub
Adjust the straps to find a more comfortable position. Ensure they are not too tight. If the issue persists, consider wearing them with thin walking socks.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for grip, extreme wetness can reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud or debris. For very slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Sandals feel loose during activity
Re-adjust the fastening system to ensure a secure fit. Pay attention to both the forefoot and heel straps.
