FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The crossover elastic detailing offers some flexibility, but the overall fit depends on the width of the sandal's base and the flexibility of the elastic. They are generally designed for a standard width fit.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is strongly advised not to wear suede shoes in the rain, as water can cause permanent damage, staining, and discoloration to the material.
How do I clean the suede uppers?
Use a dedicated suede brush for routine cleaning. For stains, spot-test a suede cleaner on an inconspicuous area first, or seek professional cleaning services.
What is the heel height of the espadrille wedge?
The exact heel height is not specified, but espadrille wedges typically offer a moderate lift suitable for comfortable, all-day wear.
What is the best way to store these sandals?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a soft dust bag will help protect the suede and maintain their shape.
Is the navy color prone to fading?
Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Store them away from light to preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Suede material scuffs easily.
Use a suede brush to gently buff out scuffs. For deeper marks, consider professional cleaning. Apply a suede protector spray to minimize future damage.
Elastic detailing feels too tight or too loose.
The elastic is designed to offer a gentle hold. If too tight, try wearing the sandals for short periods to stretch them naturally. If too loose and not providing enough security, this may indicate a fit issue.
Sole or wedge shows signs of wear.
For minor wear on the espadrille sole, a cobbler may be able to re-sole or repair it. Regular maintenance and avoiding excessive wear in harsh conditions can prolong the life of the sole.
Color transfer from suede to skin or clothing.
This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the suede has been properly treated and allow any excess dye to fade. Wearing with darker socks or trousers initially might help.
