Three things to know before you buy
One · where this pair can rub
- 1
In the gap between the first and second toe
A toe-post sits in a skin fold that has almost no callus. Sweat softens the skin there, and the post moves against it with every step.
What reduces it: Wear short indoors first. A padded post sleeve or a small anti-rub pad wrapped around the base of the post spreads the contact.
- 2
At the outer side opening
With nothing enclosing the side of the foot, the foot shifts sideways on the bed and the little toe meets the rim.
What reduces it: Tighten the forefoot strap by one hole so the foot stops travelling. If the style has no adjustment, size down only if the length chart supports it.
Two · break-in
It is the post that needs breaking in, not the strap. Expect 3–5 short wears before the post stops registering between your toes.
Leather Strap Softener — USD 28Three · barefoot wear
Worn barefoot, the footbed takes sweat directly. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth after each wear and let it dry away from direct sun. The leather will darken where the ball of your foot and heel sit — that is patina, and it is a characteristic of unfinished leather, not a fault.
How to clean a footbed
Pads cut for the 2 points marked above
in the gap between the first and second toe, at the outer side opening — the shapes in this set are cut for exactly these positions. They go on the sandal, not on your skin.
