FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckles and straps allow for a customizable fit, making them generally suitable for various foot widths. You can adjust them to be looser or tighter as needed.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. It's best to avoid getting the suede wet.
Can I wear these sandals in water?
These sandals are made with suede, which is not water-resistant. They are not recommended for use in wet conditions or for swimming.
What is the main difference between this and other Palladium shoes?
The Dunelite Riviera Suede is specifically a sandal designed for summer, featuring a lighter, more flexible sole inspired by the Pampa outsole, prioritizing comfort and breathability. Traditional Palladium shoes are often boots or closed footwear focused on durability and ruggedness.
What size should I order?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. These are unisex sandals, so consider standard unisex sizing or consult the product description for specific recommendations.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
Yes, the cushioned and flexible sole, along with the adjustable fit, makes them comfortable for extended wear and walking during casual activities.
How durable is the suede material?
Premium suede offers good durability for casual wear when properly cared for. However, it is more susceptible to damage from water and abrasion than leather or synthetic materials.
Troubleshooting
Straps do not feel secure.
Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners or buckles are properly aligned and tightened. If the straps are worn, consider replacement parts if available or professional repair.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water exposure.
Sole feels uncomfortable or stiff.
The sole is designed for flexibility. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to break them in. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to prevent pressure points.
Color transfer from suede to socks or skin.
This can occasionally happen with dyed suede, especially when new or wet. Allow the sandals to air out completely and consider using a suede protector spray. Washing socks separately is recommended.
