Full details
The Hotter Tourist II Sandals are designed for adult females seeking comfortable and adjustable footwear for warm weather.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The elasticated, fully openable buckle straps provide a good degree of adjustability, making them adaptable for many foot widths, including those who may need a little extra room.
How long does it take for the cork sole to mould to my foot?
The moulding process is gradual and depends on wear. Typically, you'll notice a difference within a week or two of regular wear, with optimal contouring occurring over several weeks.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
While the leather can be wiped clean, these sandals are not designed for prolonged immersion in water. Exposure to water may affect the leather and cork materials. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the best way to clean the cork sole?
Wipe the cork sole with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a very mild soap solution, ensuring to rinse carefully and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
The cork sole is designed to mould to your foot's natural shape, providing personalized support. While not a rigid orthotic, this contouring offers comfort and moderate support for everyday wear.
What kind of material is the insole made of?
The insole is made of soft microfibre, designed to provide immediate cushioning and a comfortable feel against the foot.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose
Fully open the elasticated buckle straps and re-adjust them to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly.
Initial stiffness in the sole
The cork sole is designed to mould to your foot over time. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in gradually. Consistent wear will improve flexibility and comfort.
Leather appears dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for the specific type of leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to absorb before buffing.
Insole feels less cushioned over time
Gently clean the microfibre insole to remove any debris that might be affecting the feel. For significant wear, consider using a thin, supportive insert if needed, ensuring it is compatible with the sandal's fit.
