Frequently asked questions about RESLIDES sandals
How does the modular RESLIDES sandal system with interchangeable straps work?
RESLIDES sandals consist of three clearly separated components: soles, straps and buckles. You thread the straps through the dedicated openings in the sole and fix them with the buckles – no tools required.
This creates sustainable modular sandals for city and beach that you can customise at any time: simply swap the coloured straps instead of buying a new pair of shoes. In everyday life, that means sandals where you just replace the straps instead of the whole shoe – an update instead of a new purchase, saving resources and reducing waste.
What is the difference between the RESLIDES sandal models?
All RESLIDES models use the same modular base system made of soles, straps and buckles, but they differ in design details, colours and special edition features.
ESSENTIALS: Our bestseller with monochrome colours and high flexibility – the perfect beach sandals and travel sandals for your holiday.
MAZE.GRID: A distinctive grid pattern inspired by ancient meander designs – for urban looks with a modern edge.
KA.NOH Edition: Limited Edition with a two‑tone sole for a bold, contrasting fashion statement.
Sandals Set: Build‑it‑yourself – choose from 9 colour options and configure your own individual set.
OKU.NAI Home Edition: The slipper version with a premium wool‑felt strap for wearing at home.
What all models have in common is that they are unisex sandals for women and men from Switzerland with a timeless, minimalist design for every occasion – from city walks and office days to after‑work drinks, holidays and city trips.
What makes RESLIDES good beach sandals?
RESLIDES are ideal beach sandals because they are waterproof, dry quickly and are easy to clean after sand, sea water or pool visits. The interchangeable straps allow you to change your look for the beach bar, promenade or beach club in seconds, without having to take a second pair of sandals with you.
Why are RESLIDES suitable as travel sandals?
RESLIDES are particularly practical as travel sandals because they take up little space in your luggage and can be adapted to different situations thanks to their modular system. One pair of sandals is enough for the beach, a stroll through town and dinner – simply change the straps and you're perfectly equipped, both visually and functionally.
Can I wear RESLIDES beach sandals in the city too?
Yes, our beach sandals are deliberately designed to also function as comfortable city sandals. The flexible, cushioning sole and secure fit make them suitable for everyday use, whether sightseeing, walking on cobblestones or long walks on holiday.
Which size should I order for my RESLIDES sandals? (Size chart)
RESLIDES are unisex sandals for women and men and are offered in EU sizes. For the most accurate fit, measure the length of your foot and compare it with the millimetre value (JP size) given in the size chart. This way your comfortable sandals with interchangeable, fully adjustable straps will fit your feet securely without slipping.
If you have any questions about sizing, you can always reach out to us via email at support@reslides.ch.
What materials are RESLIDES sandals made of, and are they durable and sustainable?
RESLIDES are made from a few clearly defined high‑performance materials:
Soles: TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane, recyclable) – significantly more durable than conventional sandal soles
Straps: Recycled polyester (PET, recyclable) or wool felt
Buckles: Recycled acetal (POM, recyclable)
Each component is made from a single material and can be cleanly separated and recycled at the end of its life. This makes RESLIDES resource‑saving sandals made from durable materials, designed for maximum use and genuine circularity.
We are proud to use 100% recyclable components in all our sandals, creating sustainable sandals.
Are RESLIDES sandals vegan and cruelty‑free?
Yes, RESLIDES (ESSENTIALS, Sandals Set, MAZE.GRID and KA.NOH Edition) are made without leather and without any otheranimal‑derived materials: the soles, buckles and straps are based on technical plastics and recycled fibres.
Only our OKU.NAI Home Edition uses a wool‑felt strap, which is of animal origin.
All our RESLIDES models are cruelty‑free.
This makes our unisex sandals for women and men an attractive option if you want to shop more consciously. At the same time, we focus on durability and recyclability to offer a future‑proof alternative to traditional leather sandals and sandals as an alternative to throwaway fashion.
Are RESLIDES sandals water‑resistant and suitable for wet conditions?
Yes, RESLIDES sandals are water‑repellent and can easily get wet. The TPU soles and recycled polyester straps dry quickly, making them ideal for the beach, pool or rainy days. This makes them a perfect choice as sustainable modular sandals for city and beach – whether you are on a city break, by the water or dealing with changeable weather.
After contact with salt water, we recommend briefly rinsing your sandals with fresh water to maintain their durability.
How do I care for and clean my RESLIDES sandals properly?
Your RESLIDES are easy to clean with lukewarm water and, if needed, a little mild detergent. You can remove the straps, rinse them separately and then let all parts air‑dry. Thanks to the modular design, you can care for your comfortable sandals with interchangeable, fully adjustable straps exactly where they get dirty and significantly extend their lifespan.
This straightforward care routine supports our goal of offering sandals as an alternative to throwaway fashion.
How exactly does the RESLIDES CIRCULARITY CREDIT work?
The CIRCULARITY CREDIT is a built‑in deposit system for sustainability that is included in the product price. You have two options and can receive up to 100% of the credit back:
TRADE‑IN: If you return your old product and buy a new one, you receive the full CIRCULARITY CREDIT back as cashback or as a voucher.
RETURN AFTER USE: If you send back old sandals or components without buying a new pair, you receive the CIRCULARITY CREDIT as a voucher or partially as cashback.
We cover the return shipping costs, recycle the materials and feed them back into the loop – turning old sandals into new products.
This makes RESLIDES sandals where you just replace the straps instead of the whole shoe and closes the loop for our sustainable sandals with 100% recyclable components.
For more details, please see the section “About the Circularity Credit and Takeback” in our general FAQs.
How long is the return period for RESLIDES sandals?
If you are an EU customer, you can return your RESLIDES within 14 days under the statutory right of withdrawal.
Customers in Switzerland benefit from our voluntary 14‑day return policy, which is subject to certain conditions.
You can find the exact time limits and conditions in our refund policy.
Because we want to minimise returns for ecological reasons, we actively help you choose the right size and adjust the straps so that your resource‑saving sandals made from durable materials stay with you for as long as possible.
If something still does not fit, please contact our support team at support@reslides.ch – together we will find out whether an exchange or a return makes more sense.

Yes, most RESLIDES models are available for immediate delivery. Typical shipping times are:
Switzerland & Germany: 2–3 business days
Austria: 4–5 business days
Other EU countries: from 7 business days
Our focus is on an ecologically sensible shipping method rather than “same‑day delivery” at any cost.

If you have any questions about the availability of specific colours or sizes, feel free to contact us at support@reslides.ch.
As an EU customer, do I have to pay customs duties or other import fees when ordering RESLIDES sandals?
No. If you order from an EU country, you do not pay any additional customs duties or other import fees upon delivery of your RESLIDES sandals. The price you see and pay in our online shop is the final price.
Your order is shipped from our warehouse in Germany, so it is handled like a regular shipment within the EU.
In the event of an exchange or return, you also do not incur any export charges: returns from EU customers are sent back to our German warehouse, while customers in Switzerland send returns to our Swiss warehouse.
