FAQs

Are these sandals true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, the adjustable strap allows for slight variations in fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to soak the leather. If they get wet, air dry them slowly away from direct heat.

How should I clean the orange stitching?

Use a soft, dry brush to gently remove surface dust from the stitching area.

Do I need to treat the leather?

Using a quality leather conditioner can help maintain the matte finish and prevent cracking over time.

How high is the heel?

The sole reaches a maximum height of 3.5cm.

Troubleshooting

Stiff leather feel during first use

Wear the sandals with socks for short periods inside your home to gradually soften the leather upper.

Footbed feels slippery

As the footbed is made of natural materials, this usually resolves as your foot oils naturally condition the surface over time.

Buckle keeps slipping

Ensure the buckle prong is fully seated in the desired hole; if it persists, check for any debris in the strap holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sandals remain in optimal condition, adjust the strap buckle so the shoe fits snugly without pinching the skin. When breaking them in, wear them for short durations indoors over several days to allow the leather and cork footbed to contour to your foot shape. Clean the leather surface using a soft, dry cloth or a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid submerging the sandals in water or exposing them to direct high-heat sources, such as radiators, which can dry out the leather and weaken the footbed components.
