FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
These sandals are designed for casual wear and light activities. The platform and open-toe design are not ideal for challenging or technical hiking trails where more robust footwear is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the product's size guide for specific measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. The UK sizing is indicated.
Can I wear these in water?

What is the weight of the sandals?

How do I clean the EVA midsole?
Gently wipe the EVA midsole with a damp cloth. Mild soap can be used for tougher marks, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting
Straps not securing properly
Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free from debris. Realign the strap and press firmly to secure.
Discomfort from the platform height
Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the elevated sole. Ensure the straps are adjusted for a snug, supportive fit.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides grip, exercise caution on extremely slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean; dirt can reduce traction.
