FAQs
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt and refresh the nap. For stains, employ a specialized suede cleaner, testing it on a hidden area first. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future staining.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 2.95 inches (about 7.5 cm).
Is the CushX™ midsole suitable for all foot types?
The CushX™ midsole is biomechanically engineered for general comfort and support, with anatomical contouring and arch support. While beneficial for many, individuals with specific or severe foot conditions should consult a podiatrist.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
The suede upper is not water-resistant and should be kept dry. The jute wrap on the sole can absorb moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these sandals in wet weather or on very damp surfaces.
What are the sandals made of?
The upper is made of luxe suede, the sole features a natural jute wrap, and the midsole is constructed from FitFlop's signature CushX™ cushioning system. The buckle is made from 100% recycled zinc.
How do I adjust the fit?
The sandal features a curvy metal buckle that can be adjusted to tighten or loosen the strap across the foot, allowing for a personalized fit.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
While designed for superior comfort in a heel, the 2.95" wedge height and material construction are best suited for moderate walking and standing. For extensive walking, flatter or more athletic footwear might be preferable.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is normal for new suede. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot. The CushX™ midsole will also adapt to your gait.
Suede appears discolored or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth and follow the product's drying instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Buckle feels loose or tight
Adjust the strap using the buckle mechanism to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle prongs are properly seated in the strap holes.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the sandals are the correct size and that the buckle is adjusted appropriately. While designed for comfort, extreme foot conditions or very prolonged standing may still lead to fatigue. Consider taking breaks or alternating footwear.
