FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Tracker Sandal's footbed?

The primary benefit is its contoured design, which mimics the natural shape of the foot to provide unparalleled comfort and support, promoting a barefoot feel.

How do the adjustable straps contribute to the sandal's function?

The adjustable straps, made from recycled textiles, allow for a personalized and secure fit, ensuring maximum stability and comfort for various foot shapes and during different activities.

What makes the Gumtread™ outsole unique?

The Gumtread™ outsole is made from durable recycled rubber and reinforced with biodegradable jute fibres. It provides a tire-like grip, offering unrivalled traction and stability on any surface.

What does the 'Plant a Tree' initiative mean for my purchase?

Through a partnership with VERDN, purchasing the Gumbies Tracker Sandal results in one mangrove tree being planted in Africa, supporting local communities and environmental protection.

Can these sandals be worn for hiking?

The Tracker Sandals are suitable for light hiking on well-maintained trails due to their grip and supportive footbed. However, they are not designed for strenuous or technical hiking that requires robust ankle support or heavy-duty protection.

How should I clean my Tracker Sandals?

Wipe the upper and straps with a damp cloth. Clean the sole with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What materials are the Gumbies Tracker Sandals made from?

The upper material is textile, the lining is cotton, and the sole is made from recycled rubber reinforced with biodegradable jute fibres. The straps are fashioned from recycled textiles.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel loose after initial adjustment

Re-adjust the touch-fasten straps, ensuring they are firmly secured. The recycled textile may require a slight break-in period to hold tension.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the Gumtread™ outsole is clean of mud or debris. While designed for grip, extreme conditions may affect performance. Check for wear and tear on the sole.

Discomfort after extended wear

Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly for even pressure distribution. The contoured footbed is designed for natural foot shape; if persistent discomfort occurs, consult the sizing guide to confirm you have the correct size.

Material appears worn or faded

This can be a natural effect of wear on recycled materials. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals to minimize fading. Gentle cleaning will help preserve their appearance.
