Product Information

Full details

The Castañer Valeriette Sandal is designed for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable footwear option for warmer weather. Its key benefit lies in blending handcrafted espadrille aesthetics with a luxuriously cushioned insole for elevated, all-day wear. A potential caveat is the specific care required to maintain its materials, particularly the raffia and leather components. Key features include a sophisticated raffia upper, V-neck design, secure buckle closure, covered heel, and platform.

FAQs

What is the heel height and platform height?

The sandal features an 8 cm heel height and a 2 cm platform height.

What materials are the sandals made from?

The exterior is made of 95% raffia polypropylene and 5% sheepskin leather. The lining is 100% sheepskin leather, and the sole is Cuerolite.

How should I clean my Castañer Valeriette sandals?

Remove dust with a soft brush. Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not immerse in water or use harsh chemicals.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The fit is described as regular. The buckle closure allows for some adjustment, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet.

Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these sandals in wet weather, as the raffia and leather materials are not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

What is the best occasion to wear these sandals?

These sandals are best suited for warm-weather occasions, from casual outings like brunches and shopping trips to semi-formal events like garden parties or dinners.

Do these sandals come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Valeriette series is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Stiff buckle or strap

Gently flex the strap and buckle mechanism. If persistent, consult a cobbler for minor adjustments.

Raffia material fraying

Trim any stray raffia fibers carefully with small scissors. Avoid pulling on loose threads. Ensure care instructions regarding water and friction are followed.

Insole feels less cushioned over time

Ensure the sandals are not exposed to excessive moisture, which can degrade cushioning. Allow them to air out fully after wear. For significant loss of cushioning, professional shoe repair may be an option.

Discoloration on leather or raffia

This can occur from exposure to sunlight or moisture. Follow the care instructions strictly. For minor spots, a gentle wipe with a slightly damp cloth may help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
