The Classic: craft braided sandals collection
Reference SLM029B flat sole
Colour: Anthracite
DESCRIPTION
Specific notes about this Model: classic flat sole
- Universal fit: suits all types of feet, from slim to medium feet.
- Laces at the back and on both sides of the heel enable you to finely adjust the model to your feet > by separating the 3 laces along the main braid and pulling them forward (ensure you do not pull them back- you need to make sure that there is some slack in the braid at the heel). Gently tighten the laces across the top of your foot.
- Always put your Marines on by sliding the front braid over your foot. Once the braids are adjusted over your foot and your foot is positioned right at the front of the sole, you can pull the braid at the back of the heel. Doing it this way feels a little awkward at first, but will be a breeze once the braids are adapted to your feet. You will then be able to maintain the Marines’ custom fit for your feet.
Technical characteristics for a flat sole Marine sandal:

Cushioning: a flexible and resistant cushioning rubber tree foam
Upper: a polyester braid which provides exceptional hold with no feeling of pressure on your foot (the braid can be extended and adapted)

Colours: they don’t fade, no matter where you wear them (resistant to sea water and sunlight)
French Sizes Available: 8, 9, 10
When dealing with European shoe sizes, you might want to consider a size up from your regular US size. Here are some guidelines:
French Sizes | Length in inches |
6 | 9’1/4” |
7 | 9’1/2” |
8 | 9’3/4” |
9 | 10’ |
10 | 10’1/4” |
11 | 10’1/2” |
12 | 10’3/4” |
Place your foot on a blank sheet of paper. Draw your footprint. Measure the full length of your footprint from heel to toe. Compare with the chart above. If you wear a half size in the USA, go to the next size up. Guidelines: regular US 8.5 > French size 9. So to follow…a US size 6 or a 6.5 will wear a French size 7, a US 7 and 7.5 will wear a French size 8 and so on. |
