Product Information
Full details
The Helly Hansen Capilano F2F Sandals are designed for active adults who need a reliable, comfortable footwear option for day hiking and outdoor exploration. These sandals excel in providing lightweight support and cushioning during long walks, though users should be aware that their open-toe design may not be suitable for technical terrain with heavy debris. As part of the Fjord-to-Fjell concept, they successfully bridge the gap between high-performance gear and casual, all-day comfort.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
While the materials are designed to handle moisture and wet environments, they are not strictly 'waterproof' in the sense of keeping feet dry; they are designed to drain water and dry quickly.
Can I use these for water sports?
Yes, their traction and quick-drying nature make them suitable for river walking or light water sports, provided you secure the straps tightly.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Capilano fits true to size for standard foot widths. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure adequate toe clearance.
Are these suitable for long-distance hiking?
They are ideal for day hikes and long walks. For multi-day backpacking with heavy loads, a closed-toe hiking boot might provide more protection.
Can the straps be replaced?
The straps are integrated into the structure of the sandal and are not designed to be replaced by the user.
How should I clean the footbed?
Use a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the footbed, then rinse thoroughly with cool water.
Troubleshooting
Strap adjustment feels loose after short periods of walking.
Ensure the velcro or buckle mechanisms are completely free of dirt and grit, which can prevent them from locking into place properly.
Slipping inside the sandal when wet.
Tighten the mid-foot strap to increase foot stability and prevent lateral movement within the footbed.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals provide the best experience, adjust all straps when wearing the shoes for the first time; start by securing the heel strap followed by the forefoot straps to find your optimal tension. These sandals are compatible with standard hiking socks if the weather turns cold, thanks to the generous adjustability. For care, rinse the sandals with fresh water after use in saltwater or heavy mud to maintain the integrity of the straps and outsole grip. Always allow them to air dry in a shaded area; avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near high heat sources, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and foam components over time.
