Care Instructions for Islander Flip-Flops, Cairns Flip-Flops, Slingback Sandals, Strider Slides & Tracker SandalsUpdated 2 hours ago

Our sandals and flip-flops combine durable outsoles with cotton canvas footbeds for comfort and breathability. With the right care, you can keep them looking fresh and feeling comfortable for longer.

Cleaning

• Hand wash with cool or lukewarm water and a mild soap or gentle detergent.

• Use a soft brush or cloth to clean the canvas footbed, taking care not to scrub too harshly.

• Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
  
  

Drying

• Air dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

• Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources for prolonged periods, as these can cause fading and shrinkage.
  
  

Preventing Fading

• Cotton canvas can naturally fade over time, but exposure to chlorine or seawater can accelerate the process.

• If they come in to contact with chlorine or seawater, rinse your sandals with fresh water as soon as possible to remove chlorine or salt.

• Avoid leaving them wet in a bag or in direct sun after rinsing — always let them dry fully in the shade.
  
  

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place away from prolonged sunlight.

• Do not stack heavy items on top to avoid warping the shape.
  
  

Extra Tips

• Avoid using bleach, harsh chemicals, or machine washing.
