FAQs

Are these sliders waterproof?

While the faux leather is water-resistant, they are not intended for submersion in water or heavy rain.

How do I determine my size?

These sandals follow standard UK sizing. We recommend purchasing the size you typically wear in flat footwear.

Do these provide arch support?

The Mel sliders feature a flat sole design and do not offer specialized arch support.

Can I wear these for long walks?

They are designed for casual wear and short distances. For long walks, footwear with higher support is recommended.

How do I clean the plaited straps?

Use a soft brush or cloth dampened with mild soapy water to gently wipe away debris from between the plaits.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels tight initially

Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the faux leather to gradually soften to the shape of your foot.

Surface scuffs appearing on metallic finish

Gently clean with a slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads which may strip the metallic coating.

Slippage during hot weather

Ensure feet are dry before sliding them on, as moisture can reduce friction on the faux leather footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sandals are ready to wear straight out of the box with no assembly required. For compatibility, they fit standard UK sizing; ensure you choose your regular size for the best fit. To care for your Mel sliders, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt after use. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can degrade the faux leather bond. If the sandals become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or warping of the synthetic material.
