Construction & Materials
We build the Ethann gladiator sandals with high-quality synthetic materials that resist water, stains, and everyday wear. The upper features multiple overlapping straps that create the signature gladiator look while providing excellent ventilation.
The footbed incorporates memory foam cushioning that molds to your foot’s unique contours, delivering personalized comfort that improves with each wear. Our reinforced stitching at stress points ensures the sandals maintain their shape and structure throughout the season.
Sizing & Fit Guidance
The Alfani Men’s Ethann Gladiator Sandals run true to standard U.S. sizing, so we recommend ordering your regular shoe size. The adjustable hook-and-loop ankle strap accommodates various foot widths and instep heights.
If you typically wear half sizes, we suggest sizing up for optimal comfort, as the closed-toe design provides less flexibility than open-toe styles. The straps should feel snug but not restrictive, allowing natural foot movement while maintaining secure positioning.
Care & Maintenance
Clean your Ethann gladiator sandals with a damp cloth and mild soap solution to remove dirt and debris. Avoid submerging the sandals completely in water, as prolonged moisture exposure can affect the adhesives and cushioning materials.
Allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight, which can cause warping or discoloration. Never place them in a clothes dryer, as high heat damages the synthetic materials and memory foam layers.

Questions About the Ethann Gladiator Sandals
Yes, the Ethann gladiator sandals run true to standard U.S. men's sizing. We recommend ordering your regular shoe size for the best fit.
If you typically wear half sizes or have wider feet, sizing up one half size will provide extra room. The adjustable ankle strap allows you to customize the fit across the instep for secure, comfortable wear.
The Ethann gladiator sandals feature water-resistant synthetic materials that can handle light moisture exposure, making them suitable for poolside wear and beach trips. The materials dry quickly when exposed to air.
While they handle water well, we don't recommend prolonged submersion or wearing them in salt water frequently, as this can accelerate wear on the materials and adhesives. Rinse them with fresh water and air dry after beach use to maintain their condition.
