FAQs
Are these slides water-resistant?
While the EVA material is water-friendly, the memory foam in the straps is not designed for total saturation. It is best to avoid heavy rain or complete submersion.
How high is the platform on these sandals?
The platform height is 65mm, providing a comfortable amount of lift without compromising the base stability.
Are they true to size?
The Austin Slide Classic generally fits standard sizing, but if you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the size that best accommodates your foot length.
Can I use these for light hiking?
No, these are casual lifestyle sandals and do not provide the lateral support or traction required for hiking or uneven terrain.
How do I clean the animal pattern on the straps?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent. Gently spot-clean the area and wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight initially
The memory foam will compress slightly with use; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to contour to your foot shape.
Footbed feels slippery when damp
The EVA material can become slick when wet; ensure feet are dry before wearing or wipe the surface down with a dry towel if water enters the footbed area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally soft EVA footbed provides yoga-mat-like cushioning
- Memory foam lined straps minimize pressure points
- Lightweight build prevents heavy, clunky movement
- Versatile design suitable for casual day wear or travel
- Easy-on functionality allows for rapid transitions
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These slides arrive ready to wear straight out of the box with no break-in period required due to the soft interior memory foam. Regarding care, avoid submerging them in water for extended periods to protect the memory foam integrity. To maintain the appearance, wipe the exterior straps and the EVA footbed with a damp, lint-free cloth using mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sun, which could warp the EVA material.
