Product Information
Full details
The Hotter Tourist II sandal is designed for adult women seeking comfortable and adjustable footwear for casual wear, especially during warmer months and for beach outings. Its key benefit lies in its fully adjustable buckle straps and cushioned microfibre insole, offering a customizable and supportive fit. A potential caveat is that the 'standard' fitting may not suit very wide or narrow feet without adjustment. This sandal combines a leather upper, textile lining, and a durable rubber sole with a stylish cork footbed for all-day comfort.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Tourist II features adjustable buckle straps which offer some flexibility. However, they are listed as a 'standard' fitting. For significantly wide feet, other models or variants might offer a better fit.
How do I adjust the straps for the best fit?
Unbuckle the straps, position your foot, and then re-fasten the buckle. The elasticated nature of the straps allows you to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit without excessive tightness.
Can I wear these sandals in the water?
While they are described as perfect for beach days, the leather uppers and microfibre lining are not designed for prolonged submersion in water. They are suitable for wear near water but should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.
How long does the cork sole typically take to mould?
The moulding process is gradual and depends on wear frequency. Most users find noticeable comfort and customisation within a few weeks of regular wear.
What is the heel height of the Tourist II sandals?
The heel height is approximately 30mm, which is equivalent to 1 1/2 inches. This provides a slight lift while maintaining a comfortable and stable feel.
What material is the insole made of?
The insole is made of a soft microfibre padding, designed for enhanced comfort and cushioning.
Are these sandals suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the cushioned insole, supportive cork sole, and adjustable fit make them suitable for everyday casual walking.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the buckle fastening. The elasticated straps allow for fine-tuning. If the fit is still not optimal, consider the 'Wide Fit' variants if available.
Discomfort after initial wear.
Allow a break-in period. The cork sole will mould to your foot's shape over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Leather appears dry or scuffed.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream using a soft cloth. Buff gently to restore shine and suppleness.
Slight odor developing.
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Air out the sandals after each use. Use a shoe deodorizer or a sprinkle of baking soda inside overnight.
