Ilse Jacobsen Tulip Slip-In Shoes - Suede - Geometric - UK 8

The upper is made of recycled microfiber. The outsole consists of 75% Natural Rubber and 25% Recycled Rubber. The insole is made of 60% EVA and 40% Pig Suede.

The shoe features a standard width. While the slip-in design offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. It's advisable to try them on if possible.

While the outsole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions.

The laser-cut pattern can be cleaned gently with a soft brush to remove dust. For any embedded dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the cut edges.

The glue-free construction uses recycled thread stitching, which is a more environmentally friendly method of assembly. It reduces the use of chemical adhesives and contributes to the shoe's sustainability.

The product description mentions a 'flexible Tulip platform outsole', but does not specify an exact height. The platform is designed for comfort and flexibility.

Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can damage the suede and rubber components.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, ensuring not to over-wet the material. Always allow to air dry completely.

This is normal for new suede shoes. Wear them around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. The padded insole and flexible outsole will adapt over time.

Some color transfer can occur with new suede shoes, especially in darker colors. This should reduce with wear. Wearing darker socks initially can minimize the appearance of any transfer.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. If the slipperiness persists on very smooth, wet surfaces, consider that the natural rubber blend may offer less grip in such specific conditions compared to specialized traction soles.
