Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buckle prongs are correctly aligned with the holes. If stiff, gently flex the leather strap around the buckle area.
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched.
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For minor dullness, a specialist leather cleaner for metallic finishes might be used sparingly, following product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Leather feels stiff after cleaning.
Allow the sandals to air dry completely. You may use a specific leather conditioner designed for patent or metallic leathers sparingly, after the shoes are fully dry.
