FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The hook-and-loop closure allows for adjustability, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, the overall fit is determined by the sandal's last and may not be ideal for very wide feet.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
These sandals are primarily designed for sunny weather. While the leather can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
What type of socks should I wear with these sandals?
These sandals are designed to be worn without socks to maximize breathability and comfort. If socks are desired for warmth, thin liner socks may be an option, but they are intended for bare feet.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, dry cloth for routine cleaning. For tougher dirt, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, applying it sparingly according to the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 45mm (around 1.77 inches).
Are the insoles removable?
No, the leather insoles are non-removable.
What does '360° stitched construction' mean?
This refers to a durable construction method where the upper material is stitched all the way around the sole, providing increased flexibility and longevity to the sandal.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness in new sandals
Leather can be stiff initially. Wear the sandals for short periods to break them in. Applying a leather conditioner specifically for footwear can also help soften the material.
Discomfort with the wedge height
If the 45mm wedge feels too high, consider adding a thin, supportive insole if space allows, though the non-removable insole limits this option. Alternatively, break them in gradually over several days.
Hook-and-loop fastener losing grip
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Lint rollers or a stiff brush can help remove small particles. If the material is worn, the fastener may need professional replacement.
Leather discoloration or damage
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive water. Use appropriate leather care products to maintain color and suppleness. Address stains immediately with a specialized leather cleaner.
