FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The fit is described as 'Regular fit (true to size)'. The adjustable straps may offer some flexibility, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet.

Can I wear these in rainy weather?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet conditions, as the paper straw material is not waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The upper is primarily made of 91% Paper and 9% Polyester, with additional leather parts (100% Calf leather).

How do I clean the leather straps?

Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid using harsh chemicals. For regular maintenance, a regular application of an anti-stain product is recommended for the entire shoe.

What is the sole made of?

The sole is made of 100% Rubber, providing durability and traction.

How should I store these flats when not in use?

Always store them in the provided dust bag to protect them from dust and environmental factors.

What is the heel height?

These are flat shoes, meaning they have a minimal to no heel height, providing a flat silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the metal buckles on the double leather straps to achieve your desired fit.

Paper straw appears dirty or stained

Gently spot clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material. Use a specialized anti-stain product for prevention and regular upkeep.

Soles showing signs of wear

Regularly inspect the rubber sole. For significant wear, consider consulting a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement.
