FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Lulu sandals are generally designed for a medium fit. While the straps are somewhat flexible, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. The contoured footbed offers support but does not stretch significantly.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
These sandals are not designed to be waterproof. While they can tolerate getting wet, prolonged submersion or use in wet environments is not recommended as it may affect the materials and adhesive.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Your heel should sit comfortably within the contoured footbed without hanging over the edge. There should be a small space between your toes and the front edge of the sandal. The straps should feel secure but not tight.
What is the difference between Lulu and other FitFlop models?
The Lulu sandal features a classic toe-post strap design and is built on the original Microwobbleboard™ technology, known for its firm-yet-cushioned feel. Different models may have varying strap designs, materials, and midsole technologies (e.g., SupercomFF™ or iQushion™).
Are the Shimmerglitz straps durable?
The lurex-threaded mesh is designed for aesthetic appeal and reasonable durability for casual wear. Avoid snagging or excessive abrasion to maintain their appearance.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
It signifies that the American Podiatric Medical Association has evaluated the footwear and found it to be beneficial for foot health, promoting proper alignment and reducing strain.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
The Microwobbleboard™ midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Shimmering material losing its sparkle
Avoid excessive rubbing or abrasion. Clean gently with a damp cloth as per care instructions. Prolonged exposure to harsh elements can affect the finish.
Footbed feels too firm or too soft in certain areas
The triple-density design is intentional. The firmness varies to support different stages of the footstep. Ensure you are wearing the correct size, as an incorrect fit can affect the feel of the midsole.
