FAQs

Are these slides suitable for running?

No, the Base Camp Slide III is designed for casual wear and recovery, not for running or intense athletic activities. Specialized athletic footwear is recommended for such purposes.

How do I determine my correct size?

Consult the product's sizing chart and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the corresponding UK size. Note that these are unisex slides.

Can I wear these slides in the shower?

While the materials are generally water-resistant, they are not designed as shower shoes. Prolonged exposure to water may affect the materials over time. It is best to dry them thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the main difference between the Slide III and other Base Camp models?

The Base Camp Slide III features a soft heathered fabric upper and a durable traction outsole, focusing on comfort and casual wear. Other models might have different materials or design focuses.

How should I clean the footbed if it gets dirty?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the footbed. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The unisex design offers a moderate fit. If you have particularly wide feet, try them on if possible or consult user reviews regarding fit for wider feet.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel too loose or too tight

Refer to the sizing chart and verify your foot measurements. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider the unisex fit which may differ from gender-specific sizing.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, performance can be affected by excessive moisture or contaminants. Dry the outsole thoroughly after use.

Upper material feels stiff initially

The soft heathered fabric may require a short break-in period. Wear them around the house for a few days to allow the material to conform to your foot shape.
