FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These sandals are designed with a comfort width (G), which generally accommodates average to slightly wider feet. The adjustable hook-and-loop fasteners also allow for a more customized fit.
Can I replace the insole with my own orthotics?
Unfortunately, the insole is not designed to be removable, which limits the ability to insert custom orthotics directly.
How should I clean the animal print pattern?
Clean the leather with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture on the printed areas to preserve the pattern's integrity.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 39.9mm (around 1.6 inches).
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, these sandals are made of leather and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
How do I adjust the fit?
The sandals feature a double hook-and-loop fastener system on the straps, allowing you to easily adjust the tightness for a secure and comfortable fit.
What makes the stitchdown construction special?
Stitchdown construction is known for its durability and flexibility. It involves stitching the upper directly to the sole, creating a strong yet adaptable bond that conforms well to the foot over time.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop fastener not securing properly
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Gently brush with a stiff brush if necessary.
Slight stiffness in leather after first wear
This is normal for new leather. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Discomfort in the arch area
While the comfort width offers ample space, the fixed insole may not suit all arch types. Consider wearing thin socks or using a small, cushioned insert if the issue is minor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the hook-and-loop fasteners to achieve your desired fit.
Compatibility:
Designed primarily for adult women. The 'G' width offers a comfortable fit for average to slightly wider feet. Compatibility with custom orthotics is limited as the insole is not removable.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the sandals become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
