Full details

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long walks?
The padded insole provides comfort, but they are primarily designed for casual daily wear rather than strenuous hiking.
Can I adjust the fit of the back strap?
Yes, the back strap includes an adjustable buckle to accommodate different ankle sizes.
How high is the platform sole?
The platform sole measures approximately 2 inches in height.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the criss-cross design is structured to allow for airflow, keeping your feet cool during warm weather.
Do these provide good grip?
Yes, the ridged rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on typical urban surfaces.
How should I clean the sandals?
Wipe them down with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them completely in water to protect the structural integrity of the insole.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose or too tight
Adjust the metal pin on the back strap to a different hole to tighten or loosen the grip on your heel.
Foot slipping slightly on the footbed
Ensure the straps are tightened securely and consider adding a thin adhesive insole grip if the issue persists.
Dirty rubber outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to scrub the ridges and remove debris.
