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.

Care:
