FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The shoe width is listed as 'Regular'. While the buckle offers adjustability, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The heel height is classified as medium, ranging from 5cm to 7.4cm.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the synthetic sole offers some protection, the leather upper and espadrille detailing are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions and should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.
How do I clean the espadrille part of the sole?
Gently brush the espadrille sole with a soft brush to remove dirt. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid saturating the material.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
Thanks to FitFlop's comfort technology, they offer superior comfort for a wedge sandal. However, the espadrille wedge and heel height mean they are best suited for moderate distances rather than extensive all-day walking on varied terrain.
What does 'PLATFFORMS ESPADRILLE' refer to?
It describes the style: 'PLATFFORMS' refers to the stable, platform-like base of the wedge, and 'ESPADRILLE' refers to the characteristic woven jute or rope detailing on the sole, common in summer footwear.
Is there a gift box included?
No, this product is not listed as being gift boxed.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
Refer to the FitFlop sizing chart for precise measurements and compare with your foot length. Adjust the buckle for a more snug or relaxed fit.
Leather shows minor scuffs
Use a leather conditioner or a cream polish matching the black color to buff out minor scuffs. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Espadrille sole feels stiff initially
Wear the sandals around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your foot shape. The natural fibers will soften with wear.
Discomfort on the arch area
Ensure the buckle is adjusted correctly for optimal support. If discomfort persists, consider using a thin arch support insert designed for sandals, if compatible.
