    ADJUST STRAPS

    Walk a few steps. Should the straps be too tight or too loose, readjust them. The straps at the left and at the right foot do not necessarily have to be adjusted the same way. Check your straps again after a few days, as the upper can stretch a little over time.

    Our recommendation: don’t wear new sandals longer than a few hours at a time to break them in slowly.
