What does 'Original Universal Slim' mean?

Are the materials used sustainable?

Can I wear these sandals in salt water?

What is the Life Natural™ treatment?
Life Natural™ is a mint-based antimicrobial treatment applied to the footbed that helps to reduce odour caused by bacteria.
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
Use the hook-and-loop closures to adjust the straps across the forefoot and ankle for a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure there is no excessive pressure on any part of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Straps not securing properly
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Try re-adjusting the straps for a tighter fit.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the strap positioning for a better fit. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the sandals with short periods of wear.
Odour development
Clean the sandals with soap and water and allow them to air dry thoroughly. The Life Natural™ treatment helps, but regular cleaning is recommended.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides traction, extreme wet conditions may still pose a slipping risk. Exercise caution.
