Product Information
Full details
These FitFlop PLATFFORMS ESPADRILLE Wedge Sandals are designed for adult women seeking stylish, comfortable footwear with a sophisticated lift. Their key benefit lies in the biomechanically engineered CushX™ midsole, offering a sneaker-like feel in a heeled sandal, allowing for all-day wear. A potential caveat for some might be the 75mm heel height, which requires some adjustment if unaccustomed to wedges.

FAQs
What makes the CushX™ midsole so comfortable?
The CushX™ midsole is biomechanically engineered with a dual-density approach: soft EVA cushioning for comfort and a firmer EVA shell for stability. This, combined with an optimized heel-to-forefoot angle, aims to provide a sneaker-like feel in a heeled shoe.
Are these sandals suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the ergonomic design, cushioned footbed, and supportive midsole are intended to make them comfortable for extended periods of walking, often referred to as 'all-day wear'.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For best results, follow up with a leather conditioner suitable for your leather type.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The heel height is 75mm (approximately 3 inches).
Can the buckle be replaced if damaged?
While not designed for user replacement, a professional cobbler may be able to repair or replace a damaged buckle.
What occasions are these sandals best suited for?
They are versatile and can be worn for casual outings, vacations, brunches, garden parties, and semi-formal events where comfort and style are desired.
Do these sandals offer arch support?
Yes, they feature an anatomically contoured footbed designed to diffuse pressure and provide natural arch support.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose or difficult to adjust
Gently try to tighten the buckle mechanism. If it remains loose, consider consulting a cobbler for repair.
Leather shows signs of dryness or scuffing
Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather. For minor scuffs, a leather repair crayon in a matching color may help.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the buckle is adjusted for a snug but not tight fit. Break in the sandals gradually by wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Jute sole shows wear
Avoid excessive moisture. For minor fraying, a small amount of fabric glue can be applied carefully.
