FAQs
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the adjustable buckle and naturally generous design make them very accommodating for wider feet.
Can children wear these without socks?
Absolutely. The high-quality footbed lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.
How do I know if the size is correct?
There should be a small amount of space at both the heel and the toes to allow for natural foot movement.
Can the footbed get wet?
While they are durable, it is best to avoid getting them soaked in water as it can affect the integrity of the cork.
Do I need to treat the leather?
You can use a standard leather protectant spray to repel dirt and moisture, but it is not strictly required.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff upon first wear.
This is normal. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the cork footbed to gradually mold to the foot shape.
Buckle feels loose.
Adjust the strap to a tighter hole setting. Ensure the metal prong is fully inserted through the chosen hole for a secure fit.
Footbed looks dark or stained.
Use a specialized cork sealer on the edges if the cork starts to look dry, and gently brush the suede footbed liner with a soft brush to remove dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, check that your child's heel sits comfortably in the heel cup and their toes have enough room to move without hitting the front edge. Adjust the strap buckle so the upper sits snug against the foot; it should not be so tight that it restricts circulation. To clean, use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Avoid exposing the sandals to high heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can warp the cork footbed and damage the materials. If the footbed becomes dirty, a mild leather cleaner or a slightly damp sponge is sufficient. Ensure they are stored in a cool, dry place to prolong the lifespan of the cork and leather components.
