FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The sandals feature a buckle fastening which allows for some adjustment. However, they are designed with a standard width. It's recommended to try them on if possible or check customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some grip, the upper and insole are made of leather, which can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. It is best to avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean the metallic finish?
Gently wipe the metallic leather with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for metallic leather, and buff with a soft cloth to restore shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the purpose of the rubber sole?
The rubber sole is designed to provide durability and reliable traction on various surfaces, ensuring stability and comfort during wear.
What is included with the purchase?
The sandals come complete with a dedicated shoe box for storage and protection.
How should I store these sandals when not in use?
Store the sandals in their original shoe box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their color and material integrity.
Is the sizing standard for European brands?
Pom d'Api sizing is generally consistent with European footwear standards. However, slight variations can occur. It is always recommended to consult a size chart or try them on for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the buckle prongs are aligned correctly with the holes. If the buckle feels stiff, it may loosen with use, or a small amount of leather conditioner can be applied to the buckle mechanism (avoiding the leather upper).
Leather appears dull or tarnished
Use a specialized cleaner designed for metallic leather. Gently buff the area with a soft, clean cloth after cleaning to restore shine.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber sole provides traction, but always exercise caution on wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris that could reduce grip.
Discomfort after initial wear
Leather footwear often requires a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot's shape. Ensure the buckle is adjusted for a comfortable, snug fit without being too tight.
