Troubleshooting
Stiff leather upon first wear
Wear the sandals around the house for short periods to gradually break in the leather. Consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for calfskin to soften the material.
Ankle strap feels uncomfortable or causes friction
Ensure the strap is adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. If the buckle or strap edge causes irritation, a small piece of moleskin or a thin leather pad can be applied discreetly.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a cream or polish matching the leather color. Always test polish on a hidden area first.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The leather sole can be slippery when new. Consider having a cobbler apply a thin protective sole or rubber taps to the sole for improved grip.
