FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
They are water-friendly and suitable for casual beach or pool use, but the materials are not strictly waterproof and should be allowed to air dry after getting wet.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
No, the Sola sandals are designed for city walking and holiday leisure, not for technical or long-distance mountain hiking.
How do I determine the right size?
These sandals follow UK adult sizing. Refer to the size labels on your specific pair, typically ranging from 6.5 to 13 UK.
Is the rubber outsole truly non-marking?
Yes, the rubber compound is specifically formulated to be non-marking, making it safe for indoor surfaces and boat decks.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from durable polyester, with over 80% of the material sourced from recycled origins.
Troubleshooting
Straps feeling stiff after heavy use
Gently hand wash the straps with mild soap and warm water to remove salt or grit buildup, then allow to air dry completely.
Sandal feels slippery when wet
While the outsole is designed for grip, ensure the footbed is wiped clean of sand or oils that can cause sliding. Use a damp cloth to clean the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These sandals feature a standard slip-on design with a secure strap configuration. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the polyester straps and EVA sole with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and surface debris.
- Drying: Air dry the sandals in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or high-heat sources, as this can degrade the EVA midsole material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not stack heavy objects on top of the sandals to maintain the shape of the arch support.
- Compatibility: These sandals are sized for UK adults; ensure you verify your specific size needs against the available range to guarantee an ergonomic fit.
