Do these sandals offer arch support?

Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckle strap. Experiment with different tightness levels until you achieve a snug, comfortable, and secure fit that prevents your foot from moving excessively while walking.
Foot slides around inside the sandal.
Ensure the adjustable buckle is fastened securely. If the footbed is wet from sweat or water, allow it to dry or clean it to improve grip. The contoured design works best when the foot is stable.
Sandal appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean the sandal immediately. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and gently rub the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue, then let it air dry completely.
