Frequently Asked Questions

How should entry-level sandals fit?

Your foot should sit comfortably on the footbed with about a quarter-inch of space between your longest toe and the front edge. The straps should feel secure without pinching, and you shouldn't have to grip with your toes to keep them on.

What's the difference between flip-flops and strap sandals for beginners?

Flip-flops require you to grip between your toes and work best for short-term wear like pools or showers. Strap sandals distribute pressure across the top of your foot and generally provide better security for walking longer distances.

How do I know if I need arch support in my first sandals?

If you typically need arch support in your regular shoes or experience foot fatigue quickly, look for sandals with contoured footbeds or basic arch support features. However, many people are comfortable starting with flat footbeds for casual use.

Can entry-level sandals get wet?

Most basic sandals can handle water exposure, but check the materials. Synthetic straps and rubber or foam soles typically dry quickly, while leather or fabric components may take longer to dry and could be damaged by frequent water exposure.
