FAQs
What type of leather is used for the DANYA slippers?
The DANYA slippers are crafted from high-quality brush-off leather, which has a distinctive textured finish.
Are these suitable for outdoor wear?
Yes, the DANYA can be worn as sandals for casual outdoor occasions, as well as comfortable slippers indoors.
How should I clean the red brush-off leather?
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What size should I choose if I'm between UK sizes?
As a general guideline for footwear, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear them with thicker socks or for extended periods.
Does the red color fade over time?
With proper care, including protection from direct sunlight and appropriate conditioning, the color should remain vibrant. However, like all dyed materials, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can affect the color.
Can I wear these with thick socks?
They are designed for a comfortable fit. If you prefer to wear thick socks, consider sizing up to ensure adequate room and comfort.
What occasions are these best suited for?
The DANYA are best suited for casual settings, such as lounging at home, running errands, or meeting friends for a relaxed outing.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or loses its sheen.
Gently buff the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For a more pronounced shine, use a dedicated brush-off leather conditioner or polish, following product instructions.
Scuff marks on the brush-off finish.
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with your finger or a soft cloth to redistribute the finish. For deeper marks, a specialized brush-off leather cleaner or a color-matched touch-up product might be necessary, used with caution.
Slippers feel slightly stiff.
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape. You can also use a leather conditioner designed for softness, applied sparingly.
Color transfer onto socks or feet.
This can occasionally happen with brightly dyed leather. Ensure the footwear is fully dry. If the issue persists, it might be advisable to wear darker socks or apply a leather sealant, testing first.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To maintain the brush-off leather finish, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust and dirt. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid soaking the leather. After damp cleaning, allow the footwear to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically, use a specialized leather conditioner suitable for brush-off or patent finishes to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly and buff gently.
- Storage: Store the DANYA in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the finish from scratches and moisture. Avoid stacking them with other footwear that could cause damage.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray designed for colored leather to provide an additional barrier against stains and water, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
