FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but keep in mind that leather tends to relax slightly after a few wears.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While comfortable for daily wear, they are designed as lifestyle footwear rather than athletic gear for long-distance walking.
How do I protect the leather from water?
You can apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather, but it is best to avoid exposing them to heavy rain regardless.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The leather construction provides some natural flexibility, but individuals with very wide feet may find the narrow, minimalist design snug.
Can I resole the shoes?
It is recommended to consult a professional cobbler to determine if the specific construction of your pair allows for resoling.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when new
Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your feet.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and buff gently to restore the sheen.
Minor scuffing on the surface
Use a leather-matching shoe polish or cream to touch up the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, ensure the sizing is correct for your foot width, as the leather will stretch slightly with use. To maintain the longevity of your Zaida sandals:
- Cleaning: Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust and debris.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or leather damage.
- Weather: Avoid wearing them in heavy rain, as saturated leather can lose its shape and develop water spots.
