FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The T-strap design offers a moderate fit. If you have significantly wide feet, the strap might feel snug. It is advisable to try them on if possible or check reviews for feedback on fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

These slides are made of smooth leather and are best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to moisture can damage the leather. It is recommended to wear them in dry weather and apply a protective spray.

How do I clean the Cassandre logo?

The Cassandre logo is typically integrated into the leather. Clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or the leather around it.

What is the difference between 'slides' and 'thongs' in the Babylone series?

Generally, 'slides' refer to open-toed footwear with a strap across the top of the foot (like a T-strap), while 'thongs' typically have a strap that passes between the big toe and the second toe. The Babylone series may offer variations in these styles.

How should I store my Babylone Slides?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bag, to protect the leather from dust and scratches, and to help maintain their shape.

What is the material of the sole?

The product information specifies smooth leather for the upper. The sole material is typically leather or a durable synthetic blend designed for footwear, but specific details may vary. Consult the product packaging or retailer for precise sole composition.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears scuffed or scratched

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper scratches, a specialized leather repair balm or conditioner suitable for smooth leather might be necessary. Professional leather cleaning services can also assist.

Slides feel too loose or slip off

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The T-strap is designed to hold the foot; if it feels insecure, it may indicate an incorrect fit. Consider adding a thin, discreet insole for a snugger feel, or consult a cobbler for potential minor adjustments.

Leather shows signs of water damage or staining

If wet, blot immediately with a dry cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from heat. For stains, attempt to clean with a specialized leather cleaner for smooth leather. Prevention with a water-repellent spray is highly recommended.

Cons

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the smooth leather with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  • Storage: Store the slides in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use the original dust bag or shoe trees to maintain their shape and protect the leather.
