FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the cork and leather construction is not designed to be submerged in water.
Can the buckle be adjusted?
Yes, the large pin buckle allows you to adjust the strap for a more secure fit.
What is the footbed made of?
It is made from a combination of natural cork and latex, topped with a breathable layer of leather.
How should I clean the gold buckle?
Gently wipe the buckle with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or fingerprints.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Madrid model is generally accommodating, but individual fit will depend on your specific arch height and foot width.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff during the first few wears.
This is normal for genuine cork and leather. Wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the footbed to soften and mold to your foot shape.
The footbed has become slightly soiled.
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to spot clean the leather lining, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, avoid exposing your sandals to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause the cork footbed to dry out. Clean the leather upper gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the cork edge loses its sheen, a light application of a specialized sealant can restore it. To preserve the shape, ensure you store them in a cool, dry place. Since these utilize a buckle closure, you can adjust the strap tightness to accommodate your foot volume, though care should be taken not to over-tighten, as this may place excessive stress on the leather strap.
