FAQs
Are these slides suitable for hiking?
The Gumbies Strider Slides are designed for casual wear and offer good grip on various terrains, but they are not intended for strenuous hiking activities that require specialized support and protection.
How do I clean the jute fibres?
The jute fibres are integrated into the outsole for reinforcement. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth; avoid soaking the entire slide.
What does the partnership with VERDN entail?
For every pair of Strider Slides purchased, one mangrove tree is planted in Africa through VERDN, supporting local economies and environmental restoration.
Can I wear these in the water?
The slides can get wet and dry relatively quickly, making them suitable for beach or poolside use. However, they are not designed as water shoes for prolonged submersion.
What is the lifespan of the recycled rubber outsole?
The Gumtread™ outsole is designed for durability. With proper care and moderate use, they are expected to last for a significant period.
Do these slides offer arch support?
The slides are designed to follow the natural shape of the foot, providing general support for casual wear. They do not offer specialized or enhanced arch support.
Are these available in other colours?
This guide specifically covers the Grey variant. Please check the product listings for availability of other colours if offered.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is not fully extended or compressed.
Slight stiffness on first wear
The cotton canvas lining may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
Reduced grip on very smooth surfaces
While the Gumtread™ outsole offers good grip, extremely smooth or polished surfaces may reduce traction. Exercise caution in such environments.
Material feels unusual
The unique combination of recycled rubber and jute fibres provides durability and eco-friendliness. This may feel different from conventional footwear materials.
