FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for walking long distances?

The cushioned and flexible sole provides good comfort for extended wear, making them suitable for moderate walking. However, they are best suited for casual strolls rather than strenuous hiking or athletic activities.

How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?

The sandals feature two adjustable buckles and straps. You can loosen or tighten these straps by adjusting the buckle positions to achieve your desired fit.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in the rain, as water can damage the suede material and potentially alter its color and texture. A suede protector spray can offer some water resistance for light moisture.

What is the best way to clean the suede upper?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner and a clean cloth are recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first and allow the sandals to air dry.

Are these sandals true to size?

Based on typical sizing, they are designed to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary, and the adjustable straps allow for some flexibility.

What is the main difference between the Dunelite Riviera and other Palladium lines?

The Dunelite Riviera line is characterized by its lighter, more flexible construction and cushioned sole, specifically designed for enhanced comfort and suitability for warmer weather, distinguishing it from more robust or boot-oriented Palladium models.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush off dry dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a soft cloth, testing on a small area first. Allow to air dry completely.

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the positioning of the straps using the two buckles until a secure and comfortable fit is achieved.

Sandal feels stiff after getting wet

Allow the sandal to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, gently brush the suede to restore its texture. Avoid using heat to speed up drying.

Slight discoloration of suede

This can sometimes occur with suede. Ensure the product was not exposed to harsh chemicals or excessive sunlight. A suede brush can often help to even out the appearance.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and dust. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
  2. Water Protection: Suede is not inherently waterproof. Consider using a suede protector spray to offer some resistance to light moisture. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or submerging in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper to help maintain shape when not in use.
