FAQs
What is the primary material of these sandals?
The upper and lining of the Pom d'Api Plagette Strap Sandals are made from genuine leather. The sole features a leather insole and a rubber outsole.
How should I clean the metallic leather finish?
Wipe the sandals with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the metallic coating. For deeper cleaning, use a product specifically designed for metallic leather, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals feature a buckle fastening which allows for some adjustment. However, they are designed with a standard width. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible for a precise fit.
Can these sandals be worn in the water?
These sandals are not waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to water is not recommended as it can affect the leather components.
What does 'Laminato Platine Light' refer to?
'Laminato Platine Light' is the designer's color name, indicating a light, platinum-like metallic finish on the leather.
Are these sandals appropriate for toddlers who are learning to walk?
The secure buckle fastening provides a good fit, and the rubber sole offers traction. However, parents should supervise young children to ensure comfort and safety.
What is included with the purchase?
The Pom d'Api Plagette Strap Sandals come with a shoe box for storage and protection.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten/unfasten
Ensure the buckle holes are aligned correctly. If the buckle is stiff, a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant can be applied to the post and hinge, but use sparingly.
Metallic finish appears dull or scuffed
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized metallic leather cleaner might be effective, but always test on a hidden spot first.
Leather feels stiff after wear
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for delicate or metallic leathers. Allow it to absorb, then gently buff.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For added traction, consider applying anti-slip sole grips, available at shoe repair shops.
