FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Iberis/Chase sandals are designed with a standard fit. Due to the nature of leather, they may stretch slightly over time. If you have particularly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking detailed sizing charts is recommended.
Can the Goodyear welt be repaired or replaced?
Yes, the Goodyear welt construction is specifically designed for durability and repairability. A cobbler specializing in Goodyear welting can replace or repair the welt, as well as resole the shoe.
How do I know if I have the correct size UK 8?
A UK size 8 should feel snug but not tight. Your heel should sit comfortably within the sandal without slipping excessively. There should be minimal overhang of your foot over the sole edges.
What is the difference between 'Noir' and black?
'Noir' is the French word for black. In this context, it refers to the black color of the leather and sole.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and climate. In general, conditioning every 3-6 months is a good practice to maintain the leather's health and appearance.
Are these sandals waterproof?
The leather and rubber sole offer some resistance to water, but they are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the leather. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions.
What kind of socks, if any, are recommended?
These sandals are typically worn without socks. If you choose to wear socks, thin, breathable ones are recommended to maintain comfort and fit.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff initially
This is normal for high-quality, handmade leather. Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Conditioning the leather can also help soften it.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. If the slipperiness persists on very smooth surfaces, a light scuffing of the sole on a rougher surface (like concrete) can improve grip.
Water spots on leather
Allow the sandals to dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a leather conditioner to restore the appearance and protect the leather.
