FAQs
Can I wear these sandals for strenuous hiking?
While designed for hiking, these are best suited for light trails, camp use, and casual outdoor activities. For strenuous or technical terrain, we recommend a more robust hiking boot or shoe for better support and protection.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The 100% textile material is not waterproof but is designed to dry relatively quickly. They can handle splashes and light rain but are not intended for prolonged submersion.
How do I clean my Explore Camp Sandals?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Gently brush off dirt and allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the purpose of the quick-lace system?
The quick-lace system allows for precise and easy adjustment of the instep volume, ensuring a customized and secure fit across the top of your foot.
Is the toe cap truly protective?
Yes, the EVA toe cap provides protective coverage against minor bumps and abrasions commonly encountered on trails or around camp. It's minimalist, offering protection without bulk.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable instep volume via the quick-lace system allows for some accommodation of different foot widths. However, if you have exceptionally wide feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the quick-lace system for the instep volume and the adjustable heel strap. Experiment to find the optimal snugness for your foot.
Blisters or discomfort during wear.
Ensure the fit is correct. Blisters often occur from friction due to an incorrect fit (too loose or too tight). Break them in gradually with shorter walks. Check for any debris inside.
Sandal makes squeaking noises.
This can sometimes happen with new footwear or when wet. Ensure the inner sole is properly seated. If wet, allow them to fully dry.
Persistent odor.
Regularly clean the sandals as per care instructions. Baking soda sprinkled inside overnight can help absorb odors. Ensure they are fully dried after each use.

Setup & Adjustments: Upon first wearing, adjust the heel strap to secure your foot comfortably. Use the quick-lace system to tighten or loosen the instep volume until the sandal feels snug but not constrictive. This personalized fit is key to preventing chafing and ensuring stability. Compatibility: These sandals are ideal for hiking, camping, casual wear, and light water activities. They pair well with hiking shorts, lightweight trousers, or swimwear. Avoid pairing with heavy socks, as the design is meant for direct skin contact and breathability. They are compatible with adult foot sizes, specifically UK size 8 in this variant. Care & Maintenance: The 100% textile construction is durable but benefits from proper care: 1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, which can damage the material. 2. Drying: Air dry thoroughly away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. 3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
