FAQs
How do I choose the right size for the Alda Strap Sandal?
We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to a standard UK shoe size chart. While the adjustable strap offers flexibility, selecting the correct base size is crucial for the contour cushion footbed to provide optimal support and comfort.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
The specific material for this variant is not detailed, but generally, sandals not explicitly marketed as 'water-friendly' should avoid prolonged water exposure to maintain material integrity and comfort features. Wipe them dry quickly if they get wet.
What is the benefit of the contour cushion footbed?
The Contour Cushion footbed is anatomically engineered to support the natural curves of your foot, providing enhanced arch support and cushioning. This design helps distribute pressure evenly across your foot, reducing fatigue and ensuring lasting comfort.
What's the best way to clean my Alda Strap Sandals?
For routine cleaning, wipe the sandals with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable side strap offers some degree of accommodation for varying foot widths. For very wide feet, we suggest trying them on to ensure the strap provides sufficient length and comfortable coverage without constricting your foot.
Is the sole non-slip?
The sole is described as 'lightweight' for easy steps. While designed for everyday walking, no specific information is provided regarding its non-slip properties. We advise exercising caution on wet or slippery surfaces, as with any footwear.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the side strap. Ensure it is snug enough to hold your foot securely without causing pressure points. If adjustment doesn't help, verify the size is correct for your foot.
Foot slides forward or backward in the sandal.
Ensure the adjustable side strap is tightened appropriately. The contour cushion footbed is designed to cradle your foot, but a proper strap fit is essential to prevent unwanted movement.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
While designed for comfort, new footwear can sometimes require a brief break-in period. Ensure the strap is not overtightened. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the size and fit; sometimes a slight variation in foot shape requires a different size.
Sandal makes a squeaking noise.
Sometimes, new soles can squeak on certain surfaces. This usually diminishes with wear. Check if any moisture is trapped between your foot and the footbed. If it's the sole, try applying a small amount of baby powder to the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the sandals from their packaging.
- Position Foot: Slide your foot into the sandal, ensuring your heel sits comfortably in the back of the footbed and your toes are not cramped.
- Adjust Strap: Utilize the adjustable side strap. Fasten it so it feels snug and secure across your foot without being too tight or restricting circulation. There should be no significant gaps, and your foot should not slide forward easily.
- Test Walk: Take a few steps to assess the fit and comfort. Make minor adjustments to the strap as needed until you achieve the perfect, personalized fit.
Compatibility

Care
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the sandals clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with the damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always allow the sandals to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally away from dust. Avoid storing them under heavy items that could distort their shape.
