FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Gracie Fisherman Sandals feature a streamlined design. While the leather upper can offer some flexibility, they might be snug for individuals with significantly wide feet. It's recommended to check specific measurements or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions or rain?
While the leather can withstand light moisture, these sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them, and ensure they are dried properly if they get wet.
What makes the Dynamicush™ midsole special?
Dynamicush™ technology utilizes ultra-lightweight, dual-density cushioning that is ergonomically engineered to deliver superior comfort, support natural movement, and optimize body alignment throughout the day.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe and heel. Your heel should sit comfortably within the sandal's footbed without hanging over the edge. The straps should feel secure but not constricting.
Can these sandals be worn for extensive walking or hiking?
These sandals are designed for everyday comfort and light walking. For extensive walking or strenuous activities like hiking, more robust footwear with specialized support and tread would be recommended.
What does the APMA Seal of Acceptance mean?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance indicates that the footwear has been evaluated by the American Podiatric Medical Association and found to be beneficial for good foot health and comfort.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is a good practice to keep the leather healthy and prevent it from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose
Adjust the straps if they are adjustable, or consider if the size is correct. Ensure the sandal is fastened appropriately for a secure fit without constriction.
Leather shows signs of dryness or cracking
Apply a good quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material. Ensure the sandals are stored properly and not exposed to excessive dryness or heat.
Slight squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather or synthetic materials. Try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or between the strap and foot. Ensure all parts are dry.
Tread seems worn after moderate use
The outsole is designed for light tread for everyday grip. For heavy-duty use, these sandals may not be suitable. Inspect for any embedded objects; otherwise, significant wear might indicate a need for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These sandals require no assembly or setup. Simply put them on and adjust as needed for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: The FitFlop Gracie Fisherman Sandals are designed for adult women. They are compatible with most casual outfits and are ideal for everyday wear. While they are recognized for promoting good foot health, individuals with specific or severe foot conditions should consult with a podiatrist regarding their suitability.
Care: To maintain the quality of the leather and the overall appearance of the sandals:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaking the leather. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for smooth leather, following the product's instructions.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture when not in use.
