While the EVA sole offers some water resistance, the leather upper and cork footbed are not designed for prolonged exposure to water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or submerging them in water.

For leather straps, use a damp cloth and, if necessary, a specialized leather cleaner. For other materials, consult the specific care instructions. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

These sandals are designed with a narrow fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. If the issue persists, consider trying a wider fit model if available or consulting a professional fitter.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Clean using appropriate methods for the specific material (leather cleaner for leather, damp cloth for cork) and allow to air dry.
