FAQs
What is Stitchdown construction?
Stitchdown construction is a method where the upper part of the shoe is stitched to the sole through a welt. This typically results in a very durable and flexible shoe that can adapt well to the wearer's foot over time.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The sandals should feel snug but not tight, with adequate room in the toe box. Your heel should not slip excessively when walking. Given these are UK size 8, ensure they match your usual footwear sizing.
Can these sandals be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials are durable, it is not recommended to submerge or wear these sandals in heavy rain or wet conditions for extended periods. They should be allowed to air dry completely if they become damp.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Stitchdown construction provides some natural flexibility. However, they are designed with a standard fit in mind. If you have very wide feet, it is advisable to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the heel height of these wedge sandals?
The product information does not specify the exact heel height, but as wedge sandals, they provide a stable, elevated profile suitable for comfortable all-day wear.
How should I clean the soft insole?
The insole can typically be cleaned by spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it dries thoroughly before wearing again to prevent odors or damage.
What is the primary benefit of the soft insole?
The primary benefit of the soft insole is to provide superior cushioning and comfort, reducing pressure on the feet during prolonged periods of standing or walking.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
The Stitchdown construction is designed for flexibility. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to naturally mold to your foot's shape. You can also try wearing them with socks around the house for a few hours.
Discomfort on the sides of the feet
Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the size is accurate, the Stitchdown style may require a brief break-in period. Continued wear for short durations should alleviate pressure points.
Scuff marks on the black exterior
Light scuff marks can often be removed by gently buffing with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a specialized black shoe cleaner or polish suitable for the sandal material may be used, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
