How to stretch the bands of Archies SlidesUpdated 2 days ago

If the band on your Archies Slides feels too tight in places and is rubbing, don't worry. The band can be stretched to give you a customised fit. 

Tips from our customers

• It's much easier to stretch the band when the material is warm. Put it in the sun for a few minutes to warm up and then stretch the band.
• Stretch the band every time before you wear them - the material is very durable! 

How to stretch the straps of your Archies Support Slides:

1. Stretch the band up and back - With your feet inside the slides, pull the band up and back off your toes, stretching it over areas where it's too tight.

2. How to stretch the band over the toe-side of the slides - Slide one hand in through the band and pull up, while pushing down on the other hand. Note the curving of the band by the fingers - you can stretch it like this from the outside edge to the inside edge across the band - working your hands along the band.

3. How to stretch the band across the bridge of the feet - Swap your hands around and repeat the stretching - curling the band up with your fingers and pushing down with your other hand. Once more, work from the outside edge to the inside edge - stretching a bit more over the areas where it's tight.

The material is very strong so you can give it a good stretch without worrying about it breaking!
