FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The adjustable straps allow for a personalized fit, which can accommodate wider feet to some extent. However, the overall width is based on a standard fit.

Can I wear these sandals in water?

It is not recommended to wear these sandals in water as the suede material can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture.

How do I clean the sole of the sandal?

The sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

What is the main difference between these and other Palladium shoes?

The Dunelite Riviera Suede is a sandal, focusing on lightweight flexibility and summer comfort, featuring a suede upper and a cushioned sole, distinguishing it from Palladium's more robust boot offerings.

How durable is the suede upper?

The premium suede offers good durability for casual wear, but like all suede, it requires proper care to prevent premature wear and damage from harsh elements.

What UK shoe size should I order if I'm unsure?

Refer to the Palladium sizing chart available on most retail sites. If you are between sizes, the adjustable straps can offer some flexibility. Given this is a UK 4.5 in the description, consider if you typically size up or down for sandals.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dry or dull

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider applying a suede conditioner or protector spray.

Stains on the suede

Gently use a suede eraser. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckle mechanism is free of dirt or debris. If the strap material is stiff, it may loosen with wear.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow a short break-in period. The suede and straps will mold to your foot shape over time.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on the suede.
  2. Protection: Apply a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff them with paper to maintain their shape when not in use.
  4. Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Stuff them with paper to help absorb moisture and retain shape. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
  5. Buckles: Ensure the adjustable buckles are clean and free from debris to allow for smooth adjustment.
