FAQs
What is nubuck leather?
Nubuck is a type of full-grain leather where the outer surface has been lightly buffed to create a soft, matte, velvety texture. It offers a premium feel but requires specific care.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the rubber tread offers some grip, these sandals are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can damage the nubuck leather.
How do I clean the EVA sole?
The EVA sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wipe away any residue and allow it to air dry completely.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
These sandals are designed primarily for casual comfort and light wear. For long-distance walking or activities requiring significant support, other footwear options might be more appropriate.
How often should I reapply protector spray?
It's recommended to reapply nubuck protector spray every few months, or more frequently if the sandals have been exposed to moisture or heavy use.
What is the difference between these sandals and slippers?
While referred to as slippers, their design with a durable sole and tread makes them suitable for light outdoor wear, blurring the line between indoor comfort and casual outdoor footwear.
Do these come in other colors?
This specific model is described as Tan. Please check available product listings for other color variations offered by Oliver Sweeney.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff
This is normal for new nubuck. Wear them for short periods to break them in. You can also use a leather conditioner specifically designed for nubuck to soften the material over time.
Soles show signs of wear
The EVA sole is designed for light wear. For significant wear, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options, though this may be limited for EVA soles.
Discoloration of nubuck
Clean gently with a nubuck brush. If staining persists, use a specialized nubuck cleaner. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Footbed feels uncomfortable after extended wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If the cushioning seems insufficient, consider using a thin, supportive insole designed for sandals, ensuring it fits smoothly within the footbed.
