FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for water activities?
Yes, their open design and materials allow them to be worn in wet environments and for activities like stream crossings or boating. Always allow them to air dry completely afterwards to maintain their condition.
How do I clean my Explore Camp Sandals?
Rinse with cool water to remove loose dirt. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat to prevent damage to materials.
Can I use these for long hikes?
These sandals are designed for camp use, casual wear, and light trails. For long or strenuous hikes on rugged terrain, a more robust closed-toe hiking shoe or boot is recommended for better support and protection.
What material is the toe cap made from?
The toe cap features durable EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) material, providing lightweight protection and comfort for your toes.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The sandals feature a quick lace system with a cord lock for adjusting the instep volume and an adjustable strap for securing the heel. Simply pull the lace to tighten and use the cord lock, then adjust the heel strap for a personalized fit.

Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight
Utilize the quick lace with cord lock for instep adjustment and the adjustable heel strap to achieve a snug, comfortable fit tailored to your foot.
Foot slides within the sandal
Tighten the quick lace system to secure the instep and ensure the adjustable heel strap is properly snug. Adjust until your foot feels stable without excessive pressure.
Unpleasant odor develops
Thoroughly clean the sandals with mild soap and water, paying attention to the footbed. Ensure they are fully air-dried in a well-ventilated area before storage to prevent bacterial growth.
Minor toe discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the toe cap is not pressing too tightly. Adjust the instep volume and heel fit to reposition your foot more centrally within the sandal, relieving pressure points.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: To clean your sandals, rinse them with cool, clean water after use, especially if they've been in saltwater or mud. For more stubborn dirt, use a soft brush and a mild soap (e.g., dish soap). Gently scrub the footbed and straps.
- Drying: Always allow your sandals to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Never put them in a dryer, as high heat can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause material degradation.
- Odor Prevention: Ensure sandals are fully dry before storage to prevent bacterial growth and odor. Consider using an odor-absorbing powder if needed.
