Product Information
Full details
The Blowfish Malibu Marley is a contemporary, flat-heeled sandal designed for adult females seeking everyday comfort and a casual style. Its primary benefit lies in its comfortable insole and easy pull-on design. A potential caveat is its water-repellent, not waterproof, nature, meaning it's best suited for dry conditions. Key features include a washed canvas upper, elastic detail for a snug fit, a round toe, and a synthetic rubber sole.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The elastic detail on the upper provides some flexibility. However, if you have very wide feet, they might feel snug. The round toe offers generous width at the front.
Can I wear these in the rain?
These sandals are water-repellent, meaning they can handle light splashes or very brief exposure to moisture. They are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or submerged in water.
What is the best way to clean the canvas upper?
Gently wipe the canvas with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution. Always allow the sandals to air dry completely.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The Blowfish Malibu Marley features a comfort insole designed for cushioning. They do not have specialized arch support for medical needs but offer a comfortable base for everyday wear.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart and consider your typical UK shoe size. The elastic detail helps with a more forgiving fit, but if you are between sizes, consider which fit you prefer (snugger or slightly looser).
What type of sole do these sandals have?
They feature a synthetic rubber sole, providing durability and a good grip on most surfaces.
Can I machine wash these sandals?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the sandal.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight initially
The elastic detail will offer some stretch over time. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Canvas material shows light scuffs
Attempt to gently clean the area with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. For more persistent marks, a specialized canvas cleaner might be considered, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight odor after wear
Ensure feet are clean and dry before wearing. Use foot powder if necessary. Air out the sandals after each use and consider using an odor-absorbing insert.
Water spots on canvas
As the shoes are water-repellent, not waterproof, prolonged exposure to water can leave marks. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Light brushing with a soft brush once dry might help restore the texture.
