FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?

How should I clean the suede?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's specific instructions.
Will the footbed change shape?
Yes, the anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time, providing a custom-fit feel.
Can I adjust the straps to fit a narrow foot?
Yes, the two adjustable metal buckles allow you to tighten or loosen the straps to achieve a secure fit for your specific foot shape.
Are these suitable for long-distance walking?
They provide excellent support for casual walking and daily activities, though they are not specialized athletic shoes.
Troubleshooting
The footbed feels too hard initially.
The cork-latex footbed requires a 'break-in' period. Wear them for 1-2 hours a day until the material adapts to your foot shape.
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the fibers back to their original texture.
Buckles are stiff or difficult to adjust.
Gently wiggle the prong of the buckle and ensure the strap hole is clear of debris to allow smoother adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, adjust the straps while standing to account for natural foot swelling. Keep the straps snug but not constricting.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft suede brush to remove surface dust or dirt regularly.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the cork from drying out.
- Avoid getting the suede wet; if they do get wet, allow them to air dry slowly away from direct heat sources.
- Protect the suede with a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede products.
