Full details

Its primary benefit is the blend of high-fashion aesthetics with practical, everyday wearability, thanks to its rubber construction and ergonomic insole.

FAQs
Are these slides suitable for swimming?
While they are water-resistant and designed for poolside, they are not recommended for actual swimming as they may come off easily.
How do I determine the correct size?
This guide entry is for UK size 12. It is recommended to check the brand's sizing chart or compare with your usual footwear size. These slides are designed for a comfortable, relaxed fit.
Can I wear these slides in the shower?

The heel height is approximately 1.2 inches (3 cm).
How should I clean off dirt or marks?

Troubleshooting
Slides feel slightly stiff initially
This is normal for new rubber footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The insole will conform to your foot shape over time.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While water-resistant, the rubber sole can become slippery when extremely wet. Exercise caution on highly polished or very wet tile surfaces. Ensure the footbed is dry before wearing.
Discoloration after sun exposure
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause the black rubber to fade or change color. Store them properly when not in use.
