Initial Setup
Your WTW sandals are ready to wear right out of the box. For optimal comfort and fit, it is recommended to adjust the strap buckle to secure the sandal to your foot without being too tight or too loose.
- Unbuckle the Strap: Locate the adjustable buckle on the upper strap of each sandal.
- Position Your Foot: Slide your foot into the sandal, ensuring your heel rests comfortably in the heel cup and your toes are within the footbed's edge.
- Adjust the Buckle: Fasten the buckle and adjust the strap to a comfortable tension. The strap should hold your foot securely against the footbed without causing pressure points.
- Walk and Re-adjust: Take a few steps to ensure the fit is correct. Re-adjust if necessary. The cork footbed will mold to your foot over time for a personalized fit.

Wearing Instructions
WTW Cork Footbed Slide Sandals are designed for casual wear and provide comfort for various activities. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:
- Daily Wear: These sandals are suitable for everyday use, including light outdoor activities and beach outings.
- Footbed Molding: The cork footbed is designed to gradually conform to the shape of your foot, providing personalized arch support and comfort. This process may take a few days of wear.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: While durable, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat (e.g., direct sunlight in a hot car) or excessive moisture, as this can affect the cork and suede materials.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your WTW sandals.
- Cleaning the Suede Insole: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the suede footbed. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the polyurethane (PU) upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cork Footbed Care: The cork footbed is naturally durable. If it becomes dirty, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid saturating the cork.
- Sole Cleaning: The EVA outsole can be cleaned with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your sandals at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can cause the materials to crack or shrink.
- Storage: Store sandals in a cool, dry place when not in use.
