Helpful Questions

What should I pack?

Please inform me of your shoe size in EU metrics, after booking the experience. I'll be needing this to prepare soles for you and your guest(s).

Hi’ I’m planning to book with my partner for our anniversary activity. Do you guys have for shoe size US11? Thanks!

Ying Yi, 26 Jun 2024

Yes, we have shoe size US11

I would like to contact Lisa for a private customised workshop.

Joy Poh, 29 May 2024

Hi Joy, could you please email us at chat@seeksophie.com on your date and time preference for the private session? We're happy to check with our host on feasibility.

Do you offer for male sandals? I'm booking for my partner as a surprise.

Kris, 19 May 2024

Hi Kris, Yes, you can give the sandals to your partner. The style is unisex

Is the material water resistant? For example, wear after day at the beach

W, 24 Nov 2023

Hello W, our host doesn't recommend wearing these to the beach as the soles will misshapen when it is wet (the soles are made out of jute). I hope this information helps! :)
