FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, the Vagabond PIPER series typically aligns with standard UK sizing conventions.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended, as excessive water exposure can damage the leather and cause the red dye to bleed.
How do I clean the sole?
Wipe the undersole with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately to prevent residue buildup.
Does the red leather fade over time?
Like all dyed leathers, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can lead to fading; proper storage is key to color retention.
Is this model suitable for wide feet?
The PIPER series has a standard width; if you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather needs an extended break-in period.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the sandals with socks for short periods inside your home to gently stretch and soften the leather.
Surface scuffs on the red finish
Use a matching red leather polish or a neutral leather cream to blend the scuff into the surrounding material.
Minor moisture stains
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vagabond PIPER sandals last, proper care is essential. Since they are crafted from leather, avoid submerging them in water. We recommend using a leather-specific cream or conditioner once a month to keep the material supple and maintain the intensity of the red finish. If they become dusty, wipe them clean with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant leather colour over time. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the specific footbed depth of the PIPER model before inserting.
