Frequently Asked Questions

Do Rainbow Luxury Leather sandals run true to size?
Yes — same sizing as all Rainbow women's styles. S fits roughly 6–7, M fits 7–8, L fits 8–9, and XL fits 9–10. Because the Luxury Leather has virtually zero break-in, the fit is accurate from day one. See our full Rainbow Sandals Sizing Guide for detailed charts.

What makes the Sandpiper different from other Rainbow women's styles?
The Sandpiper is Rainbow's most refined women's sandal — the only style with two separate 1/3" narrow straps running side by side. This double narrow strap design is more delicate and elegant than any other Rainbow style, making it the go-to for anyone who wants the Rainbow quality and feel with a dressier, more minimalist look. It also features the founder's signature on the right sandal, which no other style carries.

What is the difference between the Sandpiper and the Luxury Leather narrow strap?
Both are full-grain Luxury Leather with single-layer arch support and virtually zero break-in. The Luxury Leather narrow strap has one 1/2" strap. The Sandpiper has two separate 1/3" straps running side by side for an even more refined double-strap silhouette. The Sandpiper also features the founder's signature — a detail unique to this style.

Are Rainbow Sandals worth the price?
Most customers think so — and the math works out. A pair of Rainbow Sandals typically lasts 5–10 years with regular wear, and Rainbow backs every pair with a lifetime guarantee. Parrot Surf & Skate has been an authorized Rainbow retailer since 2000, so you're getting the real thing with full warranty support.
