Ensure there is a small space (about 1/4 inch) between your toes and the front edge of the sandal, and between your heel and the back edge of the footbed. The arch support should align comfortably with the natural arch of your foot.
It is not recommended to wear nubuck leather and cork sandals in heavy rain. Water can damage the leather and the cork, causing discoloration and potential degradation. Light splashes should be dried off immediately.
The break-in period can vary. Most users find them comfortable after a few days to a couple of weeks of intermittent wear, allowing the footbed and leather to adapt to the shape of their feet.
The anatomically shaped soft footbed is designed to provide excellent support and cushioning, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing mild foot pain, plantar fasciitis, or general discomfort. However, for severe foot conditions, consulting a podiatrist is advised.
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the suede lining. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the material.
The soft footbed features an additional layer of cushioning foam integrated into the classic cork footbed, providing enhanced comfort and shock absorption, making it ideal for those seeking a plusher feel.
This is normal for new cork footbeds. Wear the sandals for short periods daily, gradually increasing the duration, to allow them to mold to your feet.
Adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly.
For light water spots, allow to air dry. Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized nubuck cleaner following product instructions. Avoid getting the leather wet.
Sprinkle baking soda inside the footbed overnight to absorb odors, then brush out. Ensure sandals are completely dry before storing.
Setup:
These sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the metal pin buckle on the strap to achieve your desired fit.
