Product Information
Full details
The Gumbies Strider Sliders are designed for adults seeking versatile, comfortable footwear for everyday wear, from beach trips to casual outings. Their key benefit lies in the personalized fit offered by an adjustable strap and contoured design, ensuring all-day comfort. A minor caveat is their suitability primarily for casual, light-duty use rather than rigorous athletic activities. Key features include an adjustable strap, a durable recycled rubber outsole with jute reinforcement, a contoured footbed for support, and a soft cotton canvas lining. Additionally, each purchase contributes to environmental conservation through a tree-planting initiative.

FAQs
Are these sliders suitable for wide or narrow feet?
Yes, the adjustable strap allows you to customize the fit for a wide range of foot shapes, including both wider and narrower feet.
What is the 'Plant a Tree' initiative?
Through our partnership with VERDN, each purchase of Gumbies Strider Sliders results in the planting of one mangrove tree in Africa, aiding environmental restoration and supporting local communities.
How do I clean my Strider Sliders?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
Can I wear these for hiking or sports?
The Strider Sliders are designed for casual comfort and light activity. They are not recommended for strenuous activities like hiking or sports, as they lack the specialized support and protection required for such uses.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made from Gumtread™ recycled rubber, reinforced with biodegradable jute fibers for enhanced durability and grip.
Do these sliders offer arch support?
Yes, they feature a contoured footbed designed to follow the natural shape of the foot, providing moderate support.
What is the benefit of the cotton canvas lining?
The cotton canvas lining provides a soft and breathable feel against your feet, enhancing comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Slider feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the hook-and-loop fastener on the strap to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is evenly positioned across the foot.
Slight discomfort after initial wear
This may be due to the contoured footbed adapting to your foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will soften with use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the Gumtread™ outsole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
Material feels stiff
The natural materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few days to allow them to mold to your feet.
