FAQs
What is the 'barefoot' concept in these sandals?
The 'barefoot' concept means the sandals are designed to mimic the feeling and function of being barefoot. They offer a wide toe box, a thin, flexible sole, and zero heel lift, allowing the foot to move and develop naturally.
Are these sandals suitable for everyday outdoor use?
These sandals are best for light outdoor play and general wear. They are not designed for rugged terrains or activities that involve significant abrasion, as the focus is on natural foot movement and comfort.
How do I determine the correct size for my child?
Measure your child's foot from heel to the longest toe and compare it to the sizing chart provided. Ensure there is a little room for growth and natural foot splay.
Can these sandals be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand-cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best method to preserve the material and shape.
What is the expected lifespan of these sandals?
The lifespan depends on usage intensity. For children wearing them primarily indoors or for light play, they can last through a season or more. Regular inspection for wear and tear is advised.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
No, these sandals are designed with a flat sole in line with the 'barefoot' philosophy, which encourages natural foot muscle development rather than relying on artificial support.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Refer to the sizing guide and check if the child's foot measurements align with the sandal's dimensions. The 'barefoot' design should feel roomy but secure.
Material seems stiff after initial wear.
The material may need a short break-in period. Encourage natural movement while wearing them indoors. The flexibility should increase with natural use.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks.
For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution with the damp cloth. Rinse gently with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry. Do not submerge in water.
