FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Palladium Dunelite Riviera Suede sandals are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for walking. They are not specifically engineered for hiking and may lack the necessary support and durability for rugged terrain.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush to remove dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water; if they get wet, let them air dry naturally. A suede protector spray is recommended for maintenance.

Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede sandals in wet weather as water can stain and damage the material. Always protect them from moisture.

What does 'Dunelite' refer to?

Dunelite is a series from Palladium, indicating a focus on lightweight and flexible footwear, often inspired by their classic designs like the Pampa outsole.

Are these sandals true to size?

The sandals are generally considered true to size. However, due to the adjustable straps, there is some flexibility. Refer to the size chart and consider your foot width if you are between sizes.

What is the main difference from other Palladium shoes?

The Dunelite Riviera Suede sandals are specifically designed for summer, featuring a lighter, more flexible sole and an open sandal design compared to Palladium's more traditional boot styles.

Can the straps be removed?

The buckle straps are integrated into the sandal design and are not intended to be removed.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the two buckle straps to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are evenly tightened on both sides.

Suede appears discolored or stained.

Use a suede eraser for dry marks or a suede brush for general dirt. For persistent stains, consult a professional cleaner specializing in suede.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the soles are clean. If the slipperiness persists, consider having them assessed by a cobbler for potential sole treatment or replacement.

Buckle mechanism is stiff.

Gently work the buckle back and forth. If necessary, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied sparingly to the hinge points, avoiding contact with the suede.
