Product Information
Full details
The Gumbies Strider Slides are designed for adults seeking versatile, comfortable, and stylish footwear for everyday adventures. Their key benefit lies in the personalized fit offered by an adjustable strap and contoured design, ensuring all-day comfort. A potential caveat is their suitability primarily for casual wear rather than rugged terrain. These sliders feature a durable, recycled rubber outsole with jute reinforcement, a soft cotton canvas lining, and an adjustable strap to accommodate various foot shapes. Additionally, each purchase contributes to environmental conservation by planting a mangrove tree.

FAQs
How do I adjust the strap for the best fit?
The strap typically features a hook-and-loop closure. Simply detach the strap, reposition it to your preferred tightness, and re-secure it. Aim for a fit that is snug enough to prevent excessive movement but comfortable enough for extended wear.
Are these slides suitable for wide or narrow feet?
Yes, the adjustable strap is designed to accommodate a range of foot widths, making them suitable for both wider and narrower feet by allowing for a customized fit.
What is the material of the outsole?
The outsole is made from Gumtread™ recycled rubber, reinforced with biodegradable jute fibers for enhanced durability and flexibility.
How does the 'Plant a Tree' initiative work?
Through a partnership with VERDN, each purchase of Gumbies Strider Slides contributes to planting one mangrove tree in Africa, supporting local communities and environmental protection.
Can I wear these in water?
While the recycled rubber outsole can handle some moisture and provides good grip, these slides are primarily designed for casual wear. Prolonged submersion or use in saltwater is not recommended as it may affect the materials over time. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What is the inner lining made of?
The inner lining is made of soft cotton canvas, providing a comfortable and breathable feel against the skin.
How do I find my correct size?
Refer to the provided size chart which includes UK, EU, and US conversions. Measure your foot length to ensure you select the most accurate size for optimal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is properly aligned.
Slight initial stiffness
Wear the slides around the house for a few hours to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can occasionally happen with new rubber. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or on the strap area. Ensure the footbed is clean and dry.
Reduced grip on very slippery surfaces
While the outsole is designed for good grip, always exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from mud or debris.
