Product Information

Full details

The Gumbies Tracker Sandal is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable, supportive, and eco-conscious footwear option for everyday wear and light adventures. Its primary benefit lies in its contoured footbed that mimics the natural shape of the foot, offering a barefoot feel with enhanced stability. A potential consideration is the unisex design, which might require careful strap adjustment for a perfect fit for everyone. Key features include adjustable recycled textile straps, a Gumtread™ recycled rubber outsole for superior grip, and a bio-jute reinforced sole for durability.

FAQs

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Gumbies sizing chart and measure your foot length. The Tracker Sandal is designed with a natural foot shape in mind, but the adjustable straps allow for a custom fit.

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Tracker Sandals are suitable for light hikes on well-maintained trails due to their excellent grip and supportive footbed. They are not designed for rugged, technical terrain or extreme outdoor activities.

What are the straps made of?

The adjustable straps are fashioned from recycled textiles, offering comfort and durability while prioritizing sustainability.

How does the 'Plant a Tree' initiative work?

Through a partnership with VERDN, each purchase of Gumbies Tracker Sandals results in one mangrove tree being planted in Africa, contributing to job creation and environmental restoration.

Can I wear these sandals in water?

The Gumtread™ outsole provides good grip on wet surfaces, making them suitable for occasional water exposure like at the beach or by the pool. However, they are not designed as water shoes and should be allowed to dry thoroughly afterward.

How do I clean the footbed?

Gently clean the footbed with a damp cloth. For more significant dirt, use a mild soap and water mixture, then rinse lightly and air dry. Avoid soaking the entire sandal.

What is the warranty period for these sandals?

Please refer to the official Gumbies website or your point of purchase for specific warranty information, as periods can vary by region and retailer.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels too loose or too tight.

Readjust the hook-and-loop straps to achieve a personalized, secure fit. Ensure the heel strap is properly positioned.

Slipping occurs on very wet surfaces.

While the Gumtread™ outsole offers excellent grip, extreme wetness can reduce traction. Exercise caution on exceptionally slippery surfaces.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure the straps are not overtightened. If discomfort persists, take a break from wearing the sandals and ensure they are properly broken in.

Sandal material appears to be degrading.

Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or harsh chemicals. Clean and dry according to care instructions to maintain material integrity.
