FAQs
How do I adjust the fit of the Zebzag sandals?
The sandals feature two adjustable buckles across the foot and a Riptape ankle strap. Loosen or tighten these straps to achieve your preferred fit.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the sole offers some durability, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
What is EH Suede?
EH Suede is a specific type of suede leather used by Dr. Martens, chosen for its softness, durability, and depth of color.
Will the yellow stitching fade?
The yellow welt stitching is a signature design element and is generally durable. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements or abrasive cleaning methods could affect its appearance over time.
How should I clean the EVA and PVC sole?
The EVA and PVC sole can typically be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then wipe dry.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The triple adjustability of the straps allows for a customizable fit, which can often accommodate wider feet better than non-adjustable sandals.
What is the main advantage of the Zebzag sole?
The Zebzag sole is designed to be ergonomic, combining lightweight EVA for comfort with durable PVC for longevity, providing an easy and comfortable walking experience.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness in new sandals
Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the suede and sole to break in and mold to your feet.
Dye transfer onto socks or skin
This is normal for certain suede dyes. Wear with darker socks and allow more wear time for the excess dye to dissipate. Consider a suede protector spray.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Utilize the three adjustment points: two front buckles and the ankle Riptape strap, to find a secure and comfortable fit for your foot.
Suede looks dull or marked
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, consult specific suede cleaning product instructions.
