FAQs
Are the Tia 2.0 sandals true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are made of leather, a snug fit is preferred initially as they will stretch slightly.
Can these be worn without socks?
Absolutely. The interior is designed to be comfortable against the skin, making them perfect for warm-weather, sockless wear.
Are they water-resistant?
While leather is naturally somewhat resistant, these are not waterproof; avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water staining.
How do I best store them?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape over long periods of non-use.
Are these suitable for formal events?
Their minimalist, sleek design makes them appropriate for casual or smart-casual settings, though they may be too informal for black-tie dress codes.
Troubleshooting
Footwear feels tight or stiff upon first wear
This is common with high-quality leather; wear the shoes for short intervals indoors with socks to help stretch and soften the material.
Leather surface shows scuffs
Use a matching black leather polish or cream to buff out minor scratches and restore the surface finish.
Slipping on very smooth, wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for standard urban traction, ensure the sole is dry and free of debris before navigating slick indoor floors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No formal setup is required for the Tia 2.0; however, we recommend wearing them for short periods initially to allow the leather to adapt to your foot shape. To maintain the appearance of your leather footwear, use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or protection, apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or heavy moisture, which can compromise the integrity of the leather.
