SoulSole®Frequently Asked Questions

Product Questions

Do SoulSole®Flip Flops have arch support?

Yes - SoulSole®Flip Flops are designed with comfortable built-in arch support to help your feet feel supported during everyday wear.

Are SoulSole®Flip Flops good for walking?

Yes. SoulSole®Flip Flops are designed with a supportive footbed and a sole profile made for easy, natural walking - whether you’re on holiday, heading to the beach, or moving through daily life.

Do they feel soft straight away, or do they need breaking in?

SoulSole®Flip Flops feel soft immediately - and they get even better with wear.
Our foam gently moulds to your foot shape over time, creating a fit that feels more personal as you go.

Do SoulSole®Flip Flops massage your feet?

Yes - the footbed includes a soft massaging texture designed to gently stimulate the sole of the foot as you walk.

Can I wear SoulSole®Flip Flops in water?

Yes. They are fully waterproof and are perfect for poolside, beach days, showers, and outdoor use.

Can I leave SoulSole®Flip Flops in the sun? 

We don’t recommend leaving them in direct sun for long periods.
They’re made for warm weather, but extreme heat or sunlight (especially behind glass) can cause the foam to misshape over time.

Will SoulSole®Flip Flops smell or absorb odours?

Because they’re made from EVA foam, SoulSole®Flip Flops are easy to clean and don’t absorb water like fabric-based sandals.
Regular rinsing or washing helps keep them fresh.

Misuse or improper care

SoulSole®Flip Flops are designed to be easy to live with - and easy to keep fresh.

Our unique foam gently moulds to your foot shape over time, giving you an even more personalised feel as you wear them.

Cleaning

They’re totally waterproof and washable.

We recommend:

Hand-washing in warm soapy water (best option), or

Machine washing on a gentle cycle, no hotter than 30°C

Avoid hot water - temperatures above 30°C can damage or affect the foam.

Heat & storage care

SoulSole®Flip Flops are perfect for warm climates, but please avoid leaving them for long periods:

In direct sunlight

Behind glass (e.g. car windows, conservatories)

Near high heat sources

High heat can cause the foam to misshape over time.

Yes - they’re great for indoor wear too, especially if you want a soft, supportive alternative to barefoot walking on hard floors.
