FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Giles sandals feature a high-traction outsole suitable for light trails and casual walking. For strenuous hiking, specialized hiking footwear is recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK men's shoe sizing charts. The sandals are designed to fit true to size, but adjustable straps help accommodate minor variations.

Can I wear these sandals in the water?

While the materials can withstand some moisture, these are not water shoes. It is best to avoid prolonged submersion and allow them to dry thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the benefit of the cement construction?

Cement construction creates a strong bond between the upper and the sole, resulting in a lightweight, flexible, and durable shoe.

How should I clean the nubuck sections?

Use a dedicated nubuck or suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner is recommended, applied sparingly and allowed to dry naturally.

Is the EVA sockliner removable?

The EVA sockliner is integrated for cushioning and support; it is not designed to be removed.

Troubleshooting

Straps are too loose or too tight

Utilize the adjustable straps to find your perfect, secure fit. Ensure the hook-and-loop or buckle mechanism is properly fastened.

Discomfort after initial wear

Leather and nubuck products often require a short break-in period. Wear the sandals for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the T506 outsole offers high traction, caution is advised on extremely wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean for optimal grip.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for full-grain leather to restore moisture and shine. Follow product instructions carefully.

Compatibility: Designed for adult male feet. Ensure your UK shoe size is accurate for the best fit.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  2. Nubuck Care: Nubuck can be cleaned with a suede brush or a specialized nubuck cleaner. Avoid excessive water.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Check the T506 outsole periodically for debris that might affect traction. Clean with a brush if necessary.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper to maintain shape.
