Generally, we do not require a signature for delivery of sandals. However, depending on the value of your goods, the delivery service provider may require a signature for delivery. We will try to let you know if a signature will be required. You can usually choose to waive the signature requirement by the carrier by leaving the delivery person a note stating "I waive the signature requirement." Please note that if you waive the signature requirement, Global Girls will not be responsible for any lost or stolen package

Some sandals may have a short break-in period while others are perfectly comfortable from the moment you put them on. It all depends on your feet and how the sandals fit. Some sandals will be slightly snug at first- a good thing! The straps will stretch to accommodate your feet.
We recommend that you wear your sandals for short periods of time at first: start by wearing them at home when you’re cooking or not moving around much. This will start the process of the shoes forming to your feet. Then, as they begin to take shape, wear them out for short periods or until they rub or hurt. Do this again and again until they form to your feet and soon, you won’t want to take them off!
The straps on this style fit in the narrow part of your foot, so at first, it may seem like the straps are too narrow. Gently pull up on the top of the beadwork as you insert your foot while pushing/wiggling the wide part of your foot through the straps. Once in place, the straps should fit snugly around the narrow part of the foot, securing the foot in place.
The straps on these styles are made of supple goat skin which will stretch and take the form of the foot with wear. If they are tight at first, give the straps about a few wears to gradually stretch to accommodate your feet.
Make sure the leather ties are open making a loop in the back. Put your foot through the loop and then pull the straps to tighten and tie in the back, so, in essence, the straps go around twice.
Yes; however, we DO NOT recommend you get them wet, though they should hold up fine in case they do. Getting them wet will cause the leather to stretch and potentially stretch more than desired.
Conversely, we DO NOT recommend you leave your sandals in the sun. Leaving your sandals for long periods of time in the hot sun may cause the glue (adhering the inner and outer soles together) to soften and lose its strength. Please put them under a towel if you are at the beach for a few hours.
