Product Information
Full details
The Gumbies Strider Sliders are designed for adults seeking versatile, comfortable, and stylish slip-on footwear for everyday adventures. Their key benefit lies in the adjustable strap for a personalized fit and the durable, recycled rubber outsole offering excellent grip. A potential caveat for some users might be the unisex sizing, requiring careful consideration for a perfect fit. These sliders feature a contoured footbed for natural support, a soft cotton canvas lining for immediate comfort, and a commitment to environmental sustainability through their Gumtread™ outsoles and tree-planting initiative.

FAQs
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Gumbies, or measure your foot length and compare it to the UK sizing guide for the Strider series. The adjustable strap allows for some flexibility within your chosen size.
Are these sliders suitable for swimming?
While they are water-friendly and can be worn near water, they are not designed as dedicated water shoes and may become heavier when fully submerged. They dry relatively quickly.
What does the 'Plant a Tree' initiative mean?
Through a partnership with VERDN, each purchase of Gumbies Strider sliders contributes to planting a mangrove tree in Africa, supporting local communities and environmental conservation.
Can I wear these for light hiking?
The durable outsole offers good traction for casual walks and light trails. However, they do not provide the ankle support or robust protection needed for strenuous hiking.
How is the comfort of the cotton canvas lining?
The cotton canvas lining is designed to be soft and comfortable against the skin, providing immediate comfort as soon as you slip them on.
Are these sliders machine washable?
It is recommended to clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap. Machine washing is generally not advised as it can damage the materials and construction.
What is the main advantage of the Gumtread™ outsole?
The Gumtread™ outsole is made from recycled rubber, offering durability, flexibility, and a distinctive tire-like grip suitable for various terrains.
Troubleshooting
Slider feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the velcro strap to find your ideal fit. Ensure the strap is securely fastened.
Slight odor after wear.
This can happen with canvas linings. Allow the sliders to air out in a well-ventilated area. Regular cleaning can also help.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the Gumtread™ outsole provides good grip, all footwear has limitations on extremely slick surfaces. Exercise caution on wet tiles or polished floors.
Strap becoming less effective over time.
Ensure the velcro is clean and free of debris. If the strap loses its grip significantly, contact customer support.
