Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
They feature quick-dry materials, but they are not designed as waterproof gear for deep water immersion.
Can I use these for light trail running?
While the traction is excellent, these are intended for hiking and walking rather than the high-impact stresses of running.
What is the sizing like?
The Capilano fits true to size for adult UK measurements, though you should adjust the straps to suit your specific foot width.
Are the materials recycled?
Yes, over 60% of the upper material is constructed from recycled components.
How do I maintain the grip?
Keep the outsole clean by brushing off mud and rocks after each hike to ensure the rubber pods maintain direct contact with the ground.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel loose after hiking
Adjust the velcro or buckle mechanisms while the foot is positioned correctly in the footbed to re-tension the lockdown.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
Ensure the anti-slip texture is free of debris or dried mud by rinsing the footbed thoroughly with fresh water.
Developing an odour
The antimicrobial treatment is long-lasting, but standard cleaning with mild soap and water will remove trapped skin cells and oils that contribute to smell.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the straps starting from the heel and working forward, ensuring the sandal is snug but not constricting. Since these are performance sandals, they pair best with technical hiking socks if you are prone to blisters on long excursions. Care is straightforward: wipe the sandals down with a damp cloth after dusty hikes. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them in lukewarm water with a mild, soap-free detergent. Always air-dry the sandals away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the materials and the antimicrobial treatment.
