What does the 'UK D width (Gabor G)' fitting mean?
This indicates a standard to slightly generous width fitting, designed to offer a comfortable amount of space for the foot.
How do I clean the nubuck versions of these sandals?
For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush. It's important to avoid water and use products designed to maintain the suede's texture.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandal?

Troubleshooting
Rip tape fastening is not holding securely
Ensure the rip tape is clean and free from lint or debris. You can use a small brush or tweezers to remove any obstructions. If the fastening is worn, it may need professional attention.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the sandals are properly adjusted using the rip tape fastening. If discomfort persists, consider that the fit might not be ideal for your foot shape, or the materials may require a short break-in period.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or from moisture. Try placing a small, dry powder like talcum powder inside the sandal under the insole if possible, or ensure the sandals are completely dry.
Material scuffing or marks
For leather, use a leather conditioner to buff out minor scuffs. For nubuck, use a suede eraser or brush. Always refer to appropriate cleaning products for the specific material.

Care:
- Uppers (Leather/Nubuck): For leather uppers, use a quality leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for the color. For nubuck, use a specialized nubuck cleaner and a suede brush to maintain the texture. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Lining (Microfibre): Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material.
