FAQs

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For conditioning, apply a leather conditioner specifically for full-grain leather, following the product's instructions.

Can these sandals be worn in water?

While the materials can withstand some moisture, these sandals are not designed for prolonged submersion or aquatic activities. It's best to avoid excessive water exposure to protect the leather.

What is the benefit of the recycled materials used?

The use of 50% recycled EVA foam in the footbed and recycled microfiber in the insole wrap contributes to sustainability by reducing the reliance on virgin materials.

Are these suitable for hiking?

These sandals are best suited for casual wear and light outdoor activities on well-maintained paths. They are not designed for rigorous hiking trails which may require more robust support and protection.

How does the velcro strap work for sizing?

The velcro strap allows for significant adjustability across the top of the foot, enabling you to customize the fit for comfort and security. It is not the primary determinant of shoe size but rather fine-tunes the fit.

What is the outsole made of and why?

The outsole is made from Injection Blown Rubber. This material is chosen for its durability, flexibility, and ability to provide reliable traction on various surfaces.

How should I store these sandals when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. This helps to prevent the leather from drying out, cracking, or fading.

Troubleshooting

Strap adjustment is difficult

Ensure the velcro is clean and free of debris. If the velcro has lost its grip, it may indicate wear and tear.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner designed for full-grain leather following the product's instructions. Allow the conditioner to soak in before wearing.

Footbed feels uncomfortable after extended wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The footbed is designed for comfort, but individual foot shapes may vary. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The injection-blown rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on very wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of any debris that might impair grip.
