FAQs
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The heel height of the Hotter Tourist II Sandals is 25mm.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These sandals are designed with a standard width. However, the elasticated and fully adjustable buckle straps offer some flexibility to accommodate various foot shapes, allowing you to customize the fit.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
The upper is made of leather, and the sole features cork elements. These materials are not designed for prolonged water exposure. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submersing them in water to preserve their quality and lifespan.
What materials are used in the Hotter Tourist II Sandals?
The sandals feature a leather upper, textile lining, textile sock (insole covering), and a rubber sole. The main insole also includes memory foam and microfibre padding.
How do I clean the cork sole?
To clean the cork sole, gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, and do not soak the cork.
Is the memory foam insole removable?
> Info needed: [Whether the memory foam insole is removable or integrated into the sandal structure. Assuming integrated based on general product descriptions for comfort sandals.]
How should I break in my new sandals?
To break them in comfortably, wear your new sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing the wear time. This allows the materials, especially the leather and memory foam, to adapt to the unique contours of your feet.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the rounded square buckles on the elasticated straps. Open them fully, reposition the strap for comfort, and re-fasten. The elastic offers flexibility.
My foot slides forward in the sandal.
This often means the straps across the forefoot are too loose. Try tightening the buckle closest to your toes to hold your foot more securely in place.
The sandals feel stiff at first.
Like many quality shoes, these sandals may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the leather upper and memory foam insole to mould to your foot's shape.
There's an unusual sound (e.g., squeaking) when I walk.
> Info needed: [Common causes of squeaking in sandals (e.g., moisture between foot/insole, sole material friction, loose component) and general solutions like powder, conditioning, or checking for defects.]
The leather upper looks dull or dry.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth, then apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Buff gently with a dry cloth.

Care
Leather Upper: To clean, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the leather's suppleness and appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Textile Lining & Sock: If soiled, gently blot with a mild soap and water solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
