FAQs
What material are the sandals made of?
The upper is constructed from linen, providing a breathable and lightweight fit.
Are these suitable for all-day walking?
While they are comfortable due to the platform wedge, they are better suited for casual wear and social events rather than long-distance walking on rugged terrain.
How should I clean the linen upper?
Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent to spot-clean. Do not submerge the sandals in water.
Are these true to size?
The sandals are available in standard UK sizing. If you have wider feet, you may want to ensure the fit is comfortable at the toe strap before long-term use.
Can I wear these in the rain?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid wearing these in the rain, as the natural materials (linen and jute) can be damaged by water.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort during initial wear
Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Visible dust on the jute wedge
Use a soft, dry brush to gently sweep away loose dirt and debris from the textured surface.
Slippage in the sandal
Ensure feet are dry before putting on the sandals or consider using a clear gel insole if you are between sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals remain in top condition, keep them away from excessive water, as the linen and espadrille jute materials are sensitive to moisture. If they get dirty, spot-clean the linen gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the wedge base. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading and potential drying of the wedge materials. Ensure you select the correct UK foot size to avoid friction against the open-toe design.
