cydwoq sandals are a scarpa favorite in the summer; everyone on our team owns at least one pair. cydwoqs are handmade with a custom, built-in arch, and as such, they require some breaking in. initially, the fit may feel too tight, as though the strap is pushing your foot out of the sandal, but your foot will mold to the footbed with wear, and the straps will soften. the leather sole is slick at first but is meant to be scuffed. as they are handmade, sizes and color may vary slightly. we recommend sizing down if you are in between sizes.
