FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Will they fit my foot shape?

ZuZu Sandals are designed with an adjustable strap system, so you can fine-tune the fit around your foot instead of relying only on a fixed upper. It works well for many foot shapes, including feet that need a bit more space around the toes.

For the best fit, print the size guide and check the exact shape of the sandal.

What if I choose the wrong size?

No problem. Try them indoors first, on a clean surface, and keep the sandals in new condition until you are sure about the fit.

For US customers, the first exchange is free. If the size does not feel right, we’ll help you switch to the right pair without charging an exchange shipping fee.

How fast do they ship?

Most orders ship the same day or the next business day. Delivery speed depends on the shipping method you choose at checkout, with worldwide express options available.

If you need your order for a trip or a specific event, contact us right after placing the order. We’ll do our best to prioritize it and fit your schedule.

Is there a break-in period for the toe straps?

The straps are made to feel comfortable from the first wear, without the harsh break-in period people often expect from toe-post sandals.

To get that comfy feel, follow our adjustment guide to find the right strap tension. The sandal should feel secure, but not tight. Once adjusted correctly once, it should sit naturally on the foot.

Is Groove good as a first barefoot sandal?

Yes. If you're new to minimalist footwear, Groove is the perfect place to start. It gives you freedom to move, gentle cushioning for hard surfaces, and just the right ground feel to stay connected.

Are they durable enough for travel and hiking?

Yes. Groove was designed to endure more, from walking, travel, city, and outdoor use.

The 3 layered stack gives it more structure and cushion for more intense usage.

The outsole is made from our natural rubber and rice husk compound, with a lug pattern designed for grip, flexibility, and ground feel.

Do they stay comfortable when your feet sweat?

Groove is an excellent choice for warm weather and active days. The open design keeps the foot free, and the vegan leather footbed gives great breathability and moisture wicking which becomes even more important when traveling in humid regions.

Can they get wet?

Groove is water-friendly, but performs best dry. It handles sweat very well, but when fully soaked, the smooth footbed can feel a bit slippery.

For occasional dips or wet ground, a snug strap fit should keep things secure. If you’re often in wet conditions and want extra traction underfoot, we recommend checking out Flex or Flow for better wet grip.

Can I run in them?

Yes. Groove works well for barefoot-style running, especially if you already have some experience with minimal footwear.

It has a 10mm stack, so it gives more underfoot protection than our thinnest models while still keeping a flexible, zero-drop barefoot feel. That balance makes it a good option for running, and active everyday use.

If you’re new to barefoot running, start gradually. Minimal footwear uses your feet and calves differently than cushioned running shoes, so begin with short, easy runs or walk-run sessions and build up over time.
