FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The dual adjustable straps allow for a customized fit, which can often accommodate wider feet better than fixed-strap sandals. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in the rain. Suede is sensitive to moisture and can be damaged, discolored, or lose its texture. Consider using a waterproofing spray for protection against light moisture.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser or a mild suede cleaner can be used. Always test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.
What is the main difference between this and other Palladium shoes?
The Dunelite Riviera Suede is a sandal with a focus on lightweight flexibility and summer comfort, featuring a suede upper and a cushioned sole. Traditional Palladium shoes are often more robust, boot-like, and designed for rugged use.
Are these suitable for long walks?
These sandals offer good comfort for moderate walking due to their cushioned and flexible sole. For very long distances or strenuous hikes, footwear with more specialized support might be preferable.
What size should I order if I'm usually a US size 9?
This guide uses UK sizing. For US women's size 9, you would typically be around a UK size 7. For US men's size 9, you would typically be around a UK size 8.5. It is recommended to check a conversion chart or try them on if possible.
How durable is the suede material?
High-quality suede is durable with proper care. The Dunelite Riviera Suede uses premium suede, which should withstand regular casual wear. Regular cleaning and protection will maximize its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too loose or tight
Adjust the two buckles and straps until a secure yet comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure both front and ankle straps are properly tensioned.
Suede becoming discolored or stained
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Protect with a waterproofing spray before wearing.
Sole feels stiff or uncomfortable
The sole is designed to be flexible and may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your foot.
Difficulty adjusting straps
Ensure the buckle mechanisms are clean and free of debris. If a strap feels stuck, gently wiggle it while attempting to adjust.
