FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?

How do I maintain the vibrant red color?
Use a leather conditioner or cream specifically formulated for red leather to maintain moisture and prevent fading.
Do these sandals run true to size?
The PIPER series generally follows standard sizing, though individual foot width may influence the fit.
Can these be worn for formal events?
Yes, their minimalist and high-quality leather construction makes them suitable for semi-formal occasions.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with a shoe tree or stuffed with tissue paper to maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a matching red leather polish or a soft buffing cloth to gently rub out minor scuffs and restore the uniform color.
Strap irritation
Apply an anti-friction balm to the skin or use moleskin on the interior of the leather strap until the material has sufficiently softened.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are natural leather products, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy moisture or extreme direct heat, as this can crack or warp the leather. To clean, wipe down with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally, away from radiators or direct sunlight. If the leather begins to look dull, use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner specifically designed for red leathers to restore suppleness and shine. Compatibility-wise, the PIPER series features a standard fit. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to consider the nature of leather, which may stretch slightly over time.
