Full details

FAQs
Can I replace the original footbed?
Yes, the Santa Clarita features a removable footbed, allowing you to easily swap it for a fresh pair or a custom orthotic device.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough room to move freely without touching the front edge of the shoe.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While durable, they are made of natural leather and cork. It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or standing water to prevent damage to the materials.
How should I clean the suede insole?
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface debris. If the insole becomes heavily soiled, consult a professional shoe care service.
Does the strap require adjustment?
The strap is designed to provide secure support; if it feels too tight or loose, adjust the buckle to your preferred tension.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels stiff during first wear
This is normal for new cork-latex footbeds. Wear them for 1-2 hours at a time until the cork begins to flex with your natural foot movement.
Leather looks dry or dull
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner or cream to hydrate the material and restore its natural luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Santa Clarita shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your shoes for short periods initially to allow the natural leather to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for natural hides.
- Footbed Care: The cork-latex footbed is sensitive to heat. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or near radiators, as this may cause the cork to dry out and crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a cedar shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the leather when not in use.
- Compatibility: The removable footbed makes these shoes ideal if you currently use custom orthotic inserts.
