Product Information
Full details
For the modern woman seeking elevated style without compromising comfort, the FitFlop PLATFFORMS Wedge Toe-Post Sandals in Silver offer a redefined wedge silhouette. The key benefit is achieving all-day wearability with enhanced height and stability, thanks to biomechanically engineered midsoles. A potential caveat is the heel height, which may require adjustment for those unaccustomed to elevated footwear. These sandals feature a sleek, single metallic leather strap, a classic toe-post, and a lightweight, stable wedge sole with CushX™ midsoles for superior cushioning and shock absorption. They are ergonomically designed to promote good foot health and offer natural arch support.

FAQs
How do I clean the metallic leather?
Gently wipe the metallic leather with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solvents or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The design features a single strap and a toe-post, which may offer less adjustability for wider feet. We recommend trying them on if possible.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 72mm (around 2.8 inches).
Can I wear these for long walks or hiking?
These sandals are designed for all-day comfort and feature grip suitable for country paths and light trails. They are not intended for strenuous hiking or rugged terrain.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
Yes, the sandals are engineered with natural arch support as part of their biomechanical design to promote good foot health.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It signifies that the American Podiatric Medical Association has found the footwear to promote good foot health.
How do I care for the midsoles?
Keep the midsoles clean by wiping them with a damp cloth. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat, which could affect their cushioning properties.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness in the leather on first wear
This is normal for new leather. Wear the sandals around the house for short periods to help break them in and allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
Discomfort from the toe-post
Ensure the sandals are the correct size. If discomfort persists, the toe-post design may not be suitable for your foot shape. Consider a different FitFlop sandal style.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the grip is designed for light trails, very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The Microwobbleboard™ midsoles are durable, but prolonged intensive use may eventually reduce their cushioning. Maintain clean footwear to help preserve material integrity.
