FAQs
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the size chart and measure your foot. The Tracker Sandals are designed with a contoured footbed that should accommodate most foot shapes when the straps are properly adjusted.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the adjustable strap system allows for customization to accommodate a range of foot widths, providing a secure fit.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the materials are durable, they are not designed as dedicated water shoes. They can handle occasional splashes and wet conditions, but prolonged submersion is not recommended. Ensure they are air-dried properly afterwards.
What is the 'Plant a Tree' initiative?
Through a partnership with VERDN, each purchase of Gumbies sandals contributes to planting one mangrove tree in Africa, supporting environmental conservation and local communities.
How durable is the recycled rubber outsole?
The Gumtread™ outsole is made from durable recycled rubber reinforced with biodegradable jute fibers, designed to provide a tire-like grip and longevity for varied terrain.
What is the main benefit of the contoured footbed?
The contoured footbed is designed to mirror the natural shape of your foot, providing support and comfort for a barefoot-like feel during wear.
How should I clean my Tracker Sandals?
Gently clean the sandals with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry naturally.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the hook-and-loop fasteners on the straps to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are positioned correctly across the foot.
Sandals feel uncomfortable on the soles of the feet.
Allow for a break-in period, as the contoured footbed is designed to mold to your foot shape over time. Ensure you are wearing the correct size.
Outsole shows signs of wear.
Inspect the jute fibers integrated into the sole; they are designed to reinforce the rubber. For normal wear, continue using them. For significant damage, consider replacement.
Material feels stiff after getting wet.
Allow the sandals to air dry naturally. Avoid using artificial heat sources which can degrade the materials.
