Product Information
Full details
The Gumbies Tracker Sandals are designed for adults seeking comfortable, flexible footwear with a barefoot feel. Their key benefit lies in the contoured footbed and adjustable straps for a personalized, secure fit on various terrains. A potential caveat is their focus on a natural feel, which may not suit those preferring rigid arch support. These sandals feature a unique Gumtread™ outsole for superior grip, a supportive, adjustable strap system made from recycled textiles, and a foot-shaped design for all-day comfort. Additionally, each purchase contributes to planting a mangrove tree.

FAQs
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
The straps feature adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners. Loosen them to slide your foot in, then tighten them to ensure a snug, comfortable fit without being too restrictive. The heel strap can also be adjusted for optimal heel support.
What is the 'Gumtread™' outsole made of?
The Gumtread™ outsole is made from durable, flexible recycled rubber. It is reinforced with biodegradable jute fibers to enhance its longevity and provide exceptional grip.
How does the 'Plant a Tree' initiative work?
Through a partnership with VERDN, your purchase of Gumbies Tracker Sandals contributes to planting one mangrove tree in Africa. This initiative supports local communities and environmental protection.
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Tracker Sandals are suitable for light hikes and walking on varied terrain due to their excellent grip and supportive design. For very technical or strenuous hiking requiring rigid support, other specialized footwear might be more appropriate.
What is the benefit of the contoured footbed?
The contoured footbed is designed to match the natural shape of your foot, providing support and comfort that enhances the barefoot feel and helps distribute pressure evenly.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the materials are relatively water-resistant, it is best to dry the sandals thoroughly after exposure to water to maintain their integrity and comfort. Prolonged submersion is not recommended.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Gumbies. The sandals should feel snug but not tight, with your heel comfortably within the footbed and toes not overhanging the edge. The adjustable straps allow for minor fit adjustments.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the hook-and-loop fasteners on the straps to achieve a personalized, secure fit. Ensure the straps lie flat against your foot.
Sandals feel slippery on certain surfaces
While the Gumtread™ outsole offers excellent grip, extremely polished or wet indoor surfaces might be less grippy. Ensure the outsole is free of debris for optimal traction.
Discomfort after initial wear
The contoured footbed is designed to mold to your foot. Allow a short break-in period for the sandals to adapt to your foot's unique shape. Wear them for short durations initially.
Soles feel stiff
The recycled rubber outsole is designed to be durable and flexible. Flex the sandals manually before wearing and during the break-in period to help soften them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Gumbies Tracker Sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the straps for a secure and comfortable fit before wearing.
Compatibility: These sandals are suitable for adult wear. They are designed for a wide range of activities, from casual wear to light outdoor adventures. They pair well with casual attire.
Care: To clean your Tracker Sandals, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
