FAQs
How do I adjust the fit of the Tracker Sandals?
The sandals feature adjustable straps with a hook-and-loop closure. Simply detach the straps, reposition them for a snug or relaxed fit, and reattach firmly.
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
The Tracker Sandals are suitable for light trails and casual walking. For rugged, technical hiking, more specialized footwear is recommended.
What is the 'barefoot feel'?
The barefoot feel refers to the sandal's design that mimics the natural shape of the foot, allowing for natural movement and flexibility without restrictive elements.
How do the recycled materials contribute to sustainability?
The straps are made from recycled textiles and the outsole from recycled rubber, diverting waste from landfills and reducing the demand for virgin materials. The Plant a Tree initiative further supports environmental restoration.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
The materials are generally water-resistant, making them suitable for poolside or beach use. However, they are not designed as water shoes and should be allowed to dry thoroughly afterward.
What is the purpose of the jute fibers in the outsole?
Jute fibers are integrated into the recycled rubber outsole to reinforce its integrity, enhance flexibility, and contribute to its overall durability.
How do I clean the contoured footbed?
The footbed can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook-and-loop straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tensioned.
Footbed feels unusual or uncomfortable initially.
This is normal as the contoured footbed molds to your foot's unique shape. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow for an adjustment period.
Outsole grip is reduced on very smooth surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for versatile grip, extremely smooth or polished surfaces may offer less traction.
Straps are stiff after initial wear.
This is typical for new recycled textile straps. Continued wear will soften them. If needed, gently flex the straps by hand.
