Full details

These FitFlop GRACIE Leather Strappy Sandals are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish footwear for warmer months and transitioning into evenings. Their key benefit lies in biomechanically engineered cushioning that absorbs impact and supports natural movement for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that while adjustable, the strappy design may not suit everyone's aesthetic preferences. Key features include a versatile silhouette, high-rebound Dynamicush™ midsole, natural arch support, a light tread outsole for grip, and an adjustable buckle-fastening back strap for security. They have also received the APMA Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health.

FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The GRACIE sandals feature a strappy design with an adjustable back strap. While the front straps offer some flexibility, they are designed for a standard fit. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or check reviews regarding fit for wider feet.

Can I wear these sandals in the water or at the beach?

While the leather can handle light moisture, these sandals are not designed for submersion in water. Prolonged exposure to saltwater or chlorine may damage the leather and cushioning. They are best suited for walking on the beach, not for swimming.

How do I clean the Dynamicush™ midsole?

Wipe the midsole gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, as this could damage the cushioning material.

What is the APMA Seal of Acceptance?

The APMA Seal of Acceptance is awarded to footwear products that have been found to promote good foot health and are comfortable for everyday wear. It signifies that the product has been evaluated by podiatric professionals.

How do I adjust the back strap?

The back strap features a buckle closure. You can slide the buckle to loosen or tighten the strap around your heel for a customized and secure fit.

What is the best way to store these sandals?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag can help protect them.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels loose or slips

Adjust the buckle on the back strap for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the front straps are also snug but not constricting.

Leather feels stiff initially

Wear the sandals around the house for short periods to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot. Applying a leather conditioner can also help.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the back strap is correctly adjusted. If discomfort persists, consult the FAQs or consider if the sandal's arch support profile suits your foot.

Marks or scuffs on leather

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your leather type. Minor scuffs may be buffed out with a soft cloth.
