FAQs
What is the primary material of the sandal?
The primary material for the upper is premium Timberland® leather, with a synthetic suede lining and a rubber outsole.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandal?
The sandal features an adjustable buckle closure on the backstrap, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and security.
Is the footbed removable?
The product description does not specify if the OrthoLite® footbed is removable. It is designed for integrated comfort and moisture management.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
While the leather is durable, it is not designed for prolonged submersion. The OrthoLite® footbed manages moisture, but it's best to avoid excessive water exposure for the leather components.
What does 'Leather Working Group certified tanneries' mean?
It means that by purchasing this product, you are supporting tanneries that have been audited and certified by the Leather Working Group for their environmental practices.
How should I clean the synthetic suede lining?
The synthetic suede lining can typically be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
What is the heel height?
The product information lists the heel height as flat.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the backstrap to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for footwear. This will help restore moisture and suppleness.
Footbed feels less cushioned over time.
While OrthoLite® is designed for long-term cushioning, wear and tear can occur. Ensure the footbed is clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, consider replacement insoles if the sandal design allows.
Strap adjustment is difficult.
Ensure the buckle and strap are clean and free of debris. If the leather is new, it may be slightly stiff; gentle manipulation can help.
