FAQs

Are these sandals true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; choose your regular size for the best fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended. Exposure to water can damage the structure of the espadrille platform and stain the linen.

How do I secure the ankle strap?

Simply feed the strap through the buckle and adjust to your preferred tightness to ensure the shoe stays secure while walking.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a breathable shoe bag or a dry closet environment away from direct sunlight to preserve the black fabric colour.

Are they suitable for long-distance walking?

While comfortable for social events, they are not designed for long-distance trekking or heavy walking.

Troubleshooting

Strap discomfort or rubbing

Consider using moleskin or silicone heel/strap pads to reduce friction until the material naturally softens.

Material scuffing

Use a specialized fabric cleaner compatible with linen to gently clean affected areas; test on a small, inconspicuous spot first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and semi-formal wear
  • Platform wedge provides added height without compromising stability
  • Neutral black finish matches a wide range of outfits
  • Open-toe design enhances breathability in heat

Cons

  • Linen and rope-style espadrille materials are sensitive to water
  • Limited to warm-weather use
  • Wedge heel height may not be suitable for those preferring flat footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sandals feature a standard buckle closure system; ensure the strap is fastened securely around the ankle for maximum support. Regarding care, treat the linen upper with a soft, dry brush to remove dust. Do not machine wash or submerge the sandals in water. If the sole becomes dirty, use a slightly damp cloth to dab the area rather than scrubbing, as aggressive cleaning can damage the decorative espadrille weaving. Store them in a cool, dry place to prevent mould or material degradation.
