FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for walking long distances?
The FitFlop Walkstar sandals are designed for comfort and lightweight wear, making them suitable for casual walking and everyday activities. For very long distances or strenuous walking, consider footwear with more advanced support features.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The sandals should fit snugly but comfortably, with your heel fully on the footbed and toes not hanging over the edge. The wide width is intended to provide extra room. Refer to the sizing chart and try them on indoors before extended wear.
Can I wear these in water?
The rubber sole and synthetic lining are water-friendly, and the slip-resistant outsole offers grip. However, prolonged submersion is not recommended, and they should be dried properly afterward to maintain material integrity.
What is the heel height?
These sandals feature a flat heel height, promoting a natural foot position and comfortable wear.
How do I clean the fabric and leather upper?
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For leather components, a specialized leather cleaner can be used, but always test on a small area first. Avoid machine washing or submerging.
What does the 'wide' shoe width mean?
The 'wide' designation indicates that the sandal is designed with more room across the width of the foot compared to standard width footwear, offering enhanced comfort for those who need it.
What is the item weight?
The item weight for these sandals is approximately 0.5 KG, contributing to their lightweight feel for comfortable wear.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The wide width is designed for comfort, but if pressure points persist, try wearing them for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Check if the upper material is fully relaxed.
Outer sole shows signs of wear
Inspect the outsole for excessive thinning or damage. While designed for durability, heavy or abrasive use can accelerate wear. Consider replacing them if the slip-resistant features are compromised.
Discoloration or marks on the upper material
Attempt to clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For stubborn marks on leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Slipping occurs despite the slip-resistant sole
Ensure the sole is clean and free from mud, oil, or debris. For very smooth or wet surfaces, the slip resistance may be reduced. If the sole appears worn down, it may be time for replacement.
