Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Hotter Tourist II Sandals is straightforward and primarily involves adjusting the buckle straps for a personalized fit.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hotter Tourist II Sandals.
- Leather Uppers: Clean leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Microfibre Padded Insole: Gently wipe the insole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid saturating the insole. Allow to air dry completely.
- Cork Sole: Wipe the cork sole with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt. Avoid prolonged exposure to water, which can damage the cork. If the cork starts to look dry, a specific cork sealant can be applied, though this is often not needed with regular use.
- Rubber Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- General Care: Store sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials.
