FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, the TIA 2.0 is crafted from natural leather and is not designed to be waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather.
How do I find my size?
The TIA 2.0 uses UK sizing. We recommend ordering your standard size, but keep in mind that leather can stretch slightly over time.
Can these be worn as slippers?
Yes, their comfortable construction and easy-on style make them excellent candidates for indoor slippers or casual loungewear.
Does the leather fade in the sun?
Like all dyed leathers, prolonged exposure to direct, intense sunlight can cause minor color fading. It is best to store them out of direct sunlight.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The minimalist design is relatively true to width, but the leather construction allows for some natural give that accommodates most foot shapes.
What is the best way to clean the sole?
The outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the bonding agents.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
This is normal for high-quality leather; wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften and conform to your feet.
Surface scuffs appearing on the leather
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform brown finish.
Footbed feels slippery
If the leather footbed feels slippery during initial wears, it will naturally roughen slightly with use, increasing grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As these are slip-on sandals, there is no complex setup required. To ensure your TIA 2.0 footwear lasts for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt or dust with a soft, slightly damp cloth after use.
- Leather Protection: Apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the leather.
- Avoid Moisture: While leather is durable, avoid submerging these in water. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
