FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The GRACIE sandals feature adjustable straps, which can help accommodate different foot widths. However, the fit will depend on individual foot shape. The front straps are rounded to prevent digging in.

Yes, they are biomechanically engineered with cushioning and arch support for all-day comfort, making them suitable for travel and extended walking.
What is the APMA Seal of Acceptance?
This seal indicates that the American Podiatric Medical Association has found the footwear to promote good foot health.
How do I clean the leather straps?
Gently wipe the leather straps with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the material.
What is the main difference between Gracie flats and other flat sandals?
The GRACIE flats are biomechanically engineered with special cushioning (Dynamicush™) designed to absorb impact and support natural movement, offering superior comfort compared to standard flat sandals.
Can the back strap be removed?
No, the back strap is a fixed design element with an adjustable buckle for securing the sandal to your foot.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole has a light tread for a steady, flexible grip.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness or discomfort on first wear.
Leather can take a short time to break in. Wear the sandals for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they soften and conform to your foot.
Straps feel loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckle on the back strap to find your ideal fit. Ensure the front straps lie comfortably across your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather. Try applying a small amount of leather conditioner or talcum powder to the inside of the straps where they meet. Ensure the buckle is not loose.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of neutral or brown leather conditioner (depending on sandal color) using a soft cloth to restore moisture and shine.
