FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, while the outsole is durable, the suede-like upper and cork footbed are not designed for wet conditions or complete submersion.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
The toes should not touch the edge of the footbed while walking, and there should be a small amount of space around the heel for proper movement.
Can the straps be adjusted?
Yes, the two straps over the top of the foot feature adjustable buckles to customize the fit for different foot widths.
Are these suitable for toddlers?
Yes, the New York model is excellent for children and toddlers due to the secure ankle strap, which provides extra stability.
How should I clean the footbed?
Use a damp, not soaking wet, cloth to gently wipe the insole. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff during the first wear
The cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period. Encourage short periods of wear around the house until the material molds to the foot shape.
Press stud is difficult to close
Ensure no dirt or debris is trapped in the metal snap mechanism and align the stud straight before pressing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the initial setup, ensure the buckles are adjusted to provide a snug fit across the top of the foot without being overly tight. The ankle strap should be adjusted so the press stud can be easily secured.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper material gently with a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt.
- Moisture: Avoid submerging the sandals in water, as excessive moisture can damage the cork-latex footbed.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or the footbed from drying out.
- Maintenance: If the cork edges appear dry, a thin layer of cobbler's sealant can be applied to maintain flexibility.
