FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals feature an anatomically contoured footbed and are designed for comfort. While not specifically wide-fit, they offer a comfortable fit for many. Consider trying them on if possible.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
The sandals have a slip-resistant rubber outsole, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in water, as this can damage the leather and cushioning.
How do I clean the gemstone embellishments?
Gently wipe the gemstones with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions directly on them.
What makes the Dynamicush™ technology special?
Dynamicush™ technology features hidden pockets of high-rebound cushioning within the midsole. This system is engineered to diffuse underfoot pressure, absorb shock, and promote better body alignment, providing enhanced comfort.
Is the APMA Seal of Acceptance transferable to other FitFlop models?
The APMA Seal of Acceptance is specific to footwear models that have been reviewed and found to promote good foot health. While FitFlop generally focuses on biomechanics, the seal applies to this particular model.
What is the best way to store these sandals?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a dust bag or their original box can help maintain their condition and shape.
Can these sandals be worn by men?
These sandals are specifically designed and marketed for women, considering fit and style.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear
Leather requires a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The Dynamicush™ midsole will also soften with use.
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched
Gently polish the metallic leather with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized metallic leather cleaner or a very small amount of neutral shoe polish can be applied with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
Slipping sensation on smooth surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and dry. If the slipping persists, the outsole may be worn and could require professional inspection or replacement.
Gemstones feel loose
If a gemstone appears loose, avoid wearing the sandals until it can be secured. Contact customer support or a professional cobbler for repair.

Care:
- Cleaning Leather: To clean the metallic leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. For tougher marks, a specialized leather cleaner designed for metallic finishes may be used sparingly.
- Gemstones: Gently wipe the gemstones with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid soaking the sandals or exposing the gemstones to excessive moisture or impact.
- Footbed: The footbed can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Outsole: Periodically check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris and clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
