FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the materials are durable, they are not designed to be submerged in water. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the cork-latex footbed.
How do I know if the size is correct?
There should be a small gap of about 5-10mm between the toes and the edge of the footbed, as well as at the heel, to allow for natural movement.
Can the straps be replaced?
The straps are integrated into the design. If a buckle breaks, it is recommended to contact a professional cobbler for repair.
Why is there a break-in period?
The cork-latex footbed is designed to gradually contour to the wearer's specific foot shape over time, providing a custom support experience.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
This specific model is designed with a narrow width, which may be too restrictive for children with wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Have your child wear them for short periods at home to allow the cork to mold to their footprint.
Straps causing minor skin irritation
Ensure the straps are not overtightened and consider having your child wear socks for a few days until the upper material softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Upon first wear, adjust the two main straps to accommodate the height of your child's foot. The ankle strap should be snapped securely but not so tightly that it restricts circulation or causes chafing at the back of the heel.
Compatibility: These sandals are best paired with cotton socks during the initial break-in phase if your child has sensitive skin. They are designed for casual, warm-weather wear.
Care:
- Keep the cork footbed away from extreme heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the cork to dry out and crack.
- Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth; avoid submerging in water.
- If the footbed becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a mild soap solution and allow it to air dry in the shade.
