FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for people with flat feet?
Yes, the anatomically contoured footbed is designed to provide natural arch support, which can be beneficial for individuals with flat feet. The APMA Seal of Acceptance also indicates they promote good foot health.
Can I wear these sandals for a full day of walking?
Absolutely. The Dynamicush™ cushioning and ergonomic footbed are specifically engineered to provide comfort and support for extended wear throughout the day.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For best results, use a leather cleaner and conditioner formulated for smooth leather to maintain its softness and appearance.
What is the main difference between these and other FitFlop sandals?
The GRACIE Leather Back-Strap sandals feature a sleek, flat design with discreet Dynamicush™ cushioning and an anatomically shaped footbed, along with an adjustable back strap for a secure fit, differentiating them from styles with thicker soles or different strap configurations.
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the leather material is not waterproof. These sandals are designed for dry to mildly damp conditions and should be kept away from prolonged exposure to water.
Do these sandals offer good grip?
Yes, they have a rubber outsole designed to provide suitable grip for everyday use on common surfaces like pavement and indoor flooring.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It means the American Podiatric Medical Association has evaluated the footwear and found that it promotes good foot health.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or narrow.
The GRACIE sandals have a slim fit. If they feel snug, try wearing them for short periods to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Ensure the back strap is adjusted for optimal comfort. If discomfort persists, they may not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Back strap is difficult to adjust.
Gently pull the strap through the buckle to adjust. If it feels stiff, the leather may need a little breaking in. Ensure the buckle is properly aligned before tightening.
Leather shows scuff marks.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product suitable for smooth leather.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole is designed for everyday grip. If you experience slippage, ensure the soles are clean. For added traction on particularly smooth surfaces, consider using a discreet sole grip enhancer.
