FAQs
Are these suitable for outdoor wear?
Yes, they are designed for both indoor and outdoor use, though they should not be submerged in deep water or used for heavy-duty sports.
How do I clean the red upper?
Use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust, or a slightly damp cloth if necessary, ensuring the material is not oversaturated.
Can I wear these without socks?
Absolutely; the footbed is designed to be comfortable against bare skin, though some users prefer wearing them with socks during cooler weather.
What should I do if the cork edges get dry?
You can apply a specialized cork sealant to the exposed edges of the footbed to maintain its integrity and prevent cracking.

Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal; wear them for short intervals daily to allow the cork-latex blend to soften and conform to the foot.
Strap hardware feels loose
Check the buckle and strap adjustment holes to ensure they are properly seated and secured to the preferred tension level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan, verify the correct size for your child's foot before regular wear. While the straps can be adjusted for a secure fit, avoid overtightening. For care, keep the sandals away from direct heat sources like radiators, as extreme heat can crack the cork footbed. If the soles get wet, allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Periodically inspect the outsole for signs of wear and keep the surface clean by wiping with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
