Assembly & adjustment

In this video we show you how to assemble your RESLIDES sandals step by step or how to thread a new strap if needed.

Are the buckles pinching your foot?

To ensure the sandals fit your feet perfectly, the buckles should be positioned close to the outer edge of the soles. To position the buckles further out, you may need to shorten the straps with scissors. The following video shows you how to do this.

To find out what length you need to shorten your belt to, scroll down to the table below.

To tighten the sandals, the upper buckle should be moved away from the edge towards the instep. However, if the buckle ends up too high over the instep when tightened, the strap must be shortened individually, otherwise it could press uncomfortably when worn.

1. Move the upper buckle back to the outer edge.

2. Take off your sandal and have scissors and a lighter ready.

3. Open both flaps of the front buckle (push the short lower flap through the opening at the bottom of the case) and pull the strap end out of the buckle.

4. Cut the strap end to the appropriate length (1-4cm depending on foot geometry) and briefly melt the cut edge with a lighter (Caution: move it carefully back and forth and hold the open flame to the strap end for a maximum of two seconds)

5. Reattach the strap end to the buckle using the short flap (Caution: thread in a maximum of 3cm, otherwise the long flap cannot be closed!)

6. Slide the front buckle towards the outer edge of the sole and close it.

7. Put the sandal back on, check the fit again and, if necessary, slide the back buckle up slightly to tighten it.

8. If it is still too loose, shorten the strap again with scissors.

The table below shows our recommendation for the length of your sandal strap.

If you have particularly wide or high feet, it's better to shorten your strap a little less.

1. The buckles are designed so that the strap end is fixed to the short flap and the long flap is intended for stepless length adjustment.

2. The short lower flap is best opened through the recess at the bottom of the housing - simply push from below after the upper long flap has been opened.

3. Caution: Only push the end of the strap a maximum of 3cm under the short flap.
Otherwise, two layers of the strap will be under the long flap and the buckle will no longer be able to be closed (or could break if too much force is applied)!
