It is important to ensure the laces and straps are done up nice and firm, (make sure you’re comfortable, of course). This will help to secure the shoe to your foot.
If you have purchased an enclosed toe style which comes with our Sole Saver™️ pack, you can use a forefoot cushion under the full-length footbed towards the front of the shoe. This will help to shift your foot into the back of the heel counter which in turn can help to minimise heel movement.

Orthotic friendly slides and sandals can become quite ‘chunky’. Our designers (including Podiatrists) have designed styles that will give you the support you crave without the bulk.
On the surface, some of our sandals may look flat, but the support and comfort is packed in there through our dual and triple layer support and cushion system. Soft and smooth cushioning on top, with a firm and contoured layer on the bottom to help support the heel and arch.

FRANKIE4’s are made with high-quality leathers. Any natural material, like leather, will conform and mould to areas that are under pressure. So yes, the shoes will soften and mould with wear like any leather shoe.
Founded by Podiatrists, our footwear is designed with body mechanics in mind, with the aim to alleviate and prevent heel and arch pain, plantar fasciitis, and forefoot pain.

Styles that include our Sole Saver Pack™️, enables you to adjust the footbed set up to provide you with additional space at the toe box, giving the bunion some extra room to sit in. Simply remove the full-length footbed and replace with the half-length footbed to allow for some more space.
Most enclosed toe styles also feature our hidden soft foam lining placed within the toe box area of the shoe which helps to reduce any friction in the area where your bunion may be.

Despite temptation to place your dirty shoes in the washing machine, we definitely would not recommend this.
Leather is a hydrophobic material meaning it does not react well with water. This combined with the spin of the washing machine can both irreparably damage the leather and structure of your shoes.
If your shoes have become dirty, we'd recommend brushing all loose dirt off with a soft cloth or brush and then using Collonil Classic Clean & Care Foam to remove marks, following the instructions carefully. For more persistent marks or scuffs, you can use a polish in the same shade as your shoes.
No, please don’t put your shoes in the dryer. The heat will destroy the beautiful leathers by dehydrating the fibres. Please view our care instructions here.
Our footbeds are leather lined, this means that placing them into the washing machine can cause some damage to the leathers which can’t be reversed.
We find that wiping them down with baby wipes and allowing them to air dry in a shady place is very effective. Ensure they’re alcohol-free wipes and that they’re fully dry before placing back into your shoe.
