FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The two wide straps and adjustable buckles offer a degree of adjustability that can accommodate wider feet. However, the overall fit is best determined by trying them on.
Can I wear these in saltwater or chlorine?
Yes, the EVA material is water-resistant and can be worn in saltwater or chlorine. It is recommended to rinse them with fresh water and air dry afterward.
What is the difference between this EVA model and the traditional cork Birkenstocks?
The EVA model is significantly lighter, completely water-friendly, and easier to clean. Traditional cork models are heavier and require more careful maintenance around water, but often offer a more rigid support structure.
How do I clean mud or dirt off the sandals?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away mud or dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild soap can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with clean water and air drying.
What is the sole height?
The sole height at its highest point is 3.5 cm.
Do the large buckles adjust the fit?
The large buckles are primarily a design element. The actual fit is adjusted by the buckles on the straps, allowing you to tighten or loosen each strap individually.
Are these suitable for orthopedic needs?
The sandals feature a contoured footbed designed for comfort and support. However, for specific orthopedic needs, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the two wide straps using the oversized metal buckles until a comfortable and secure fit is achieved.
Discomfort after initial wear.
The contoured footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Sandals appear to be deforming.
Avoid exposing the EVA material to excessive heat (e.g., direct sunlight for extended periods, inside a hot car). Allow them to cool and reshape naturally if possible, or contact customer support if deformation is significant.
Slipping sensation during wet conditions.
While water-resistant, the EVA sole can become slippery when wet. Exercise caution when walking on wet surfaces.
