Setup
Using your Josef Leather Buckle Slides is straightforward:

Compatibility
These slides are designed for maximum versatility:
- Attire: Perfect for casual summer wear, including shorts, jeans, dresses, and skirts.
- Socks: Can be comfortably worn with or without socks, depending on personal preference and style.
- Environment: Ideal for dry, warm weather conditions. Not recommended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet environments due to the leather material.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your slides:
- Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Follow with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Cleaning the Suede Footbed: For the suede footbed, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently remove debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully.
- Drying: If your slides get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing the toes lightly with paper can help maintain their shape.
