FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
The Olivia sandals follow standard UK adult sizing; if you are between sizes, consider your usual preference for sandals.
Can I wear these to the beach?
While the style is inspired by beachwear, avoid getting the espadrille jute material wet or sandy as it can be difficult to clean.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, breathable linen.
How do I keep the black fabric looking vibrant?
Keep the shoes out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not being worn to prevent potential fading of the black fabric.
Is the heel height comfortable for walking?
The platform wedge design is specifically engineered to provide elevation while distributing weight evenly, making them more comfortable than traditional heels.
Troubleshooting
Wedge sole feels stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors with thick socks for short periods to gently stretch and soften the footbed.
Light dirt on the linen upper
Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to lightly wipe away debris without soaking the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sandals remain in top condition, avoid getting the jute-wrapped wedge wet, as moisture can weaken the natural fibers over time. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the linen upper. For cleaning, gently spot clean the linen with a soft cloth and mild soap; do not submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine. Because these are UK-sized footwear, ensure your measurements align with the standard adult UK 5 size provided for this specific model.
