FAQs
Are these slides suitable for wearing in water?
While they can get wet (e.g., by the pool or at the beach), they are not specifically designed as water shoes. It's best to allow them to dry completely after getting wet to maintain their condition and prevent odour.
Do these slides offer arch support?
The EXPLORE CAMP SLIDE features a comfortable, contoured footbed designed for casual wear. While they provide basic support and cushioning, they do not offer the same level of engineered arch support as specialized athletic or orthotic footwear.
How do I choose the correct size?
These slides are listed in UK adult foot sizes. We recommend selecting your standard shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a more relaxed fit in slides.
Can I wear these for hiking or long walks?
No, these slides are designed for casual use and relaxation. They do not provide the necessary support, protection, or traction for hiking or extended periods of walking on varied terrain. For those activities, please choose appropriate hiking footwear.
What materials are these slides made from?
Info needed: Specific material composition. Generally, slides like these feature a synthetic strap and a cushioned EVA foam footbed and outsole for comfort and durability.
Are they slip-resistant?
The outsole provides standard traction for casual dry surfaces. They are not specifically rated as slip-resistant on wet or oily surfaces, so exercise caution in such environments.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too loose or too tight
While the strap isn't adjustable, ensure you have selected the correct UK adult foot size. Over time, the material may slightly conform to your foot shape. If they are consistently uncomfortable, consider a different size.
Foot slides around inside the sandal
This can happen if your feet are wet or sweaty. Ensure your feet are dry before wearing. The contoured footbed is designed to provide some grip, but in very wet conditions, extra caution is advised.
Soles become slippery
The outsole is designed for casual traction. If you encounter extremely smooth or wet surfaces, proceed with caution. Regular cleaning can help maintain the sole's grip by removing dirt and debris.
Unpleasant odour develops
Regularly clean the footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the slides are fully air-dried before storing to prevent moisture build-up, which can lead to odours. Odour-absorbing inserts can also be used if necessary.

To care for your EXPLORE CAMP SLIDE, wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the material. Allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
