Carl Scarpa Grantini Navy Suede Sandals

The crossover elastic detailing offers some flexibility, but the overall fit depends on the width of the sandal's base and the flexibility of the elastic. They are generally designed for a standard width fit.

It is strongly advised not to wear suede shoes in the rain, as water can cause permanent damage, staining, and discoloration to the material.

Use a dedicated suede brush for routine cleaning. For stains, spot-test a suede cleaner on an inconspicuous area first, or seek professional cleaning services.

The exact heel height is not specified, but espadrille wedges typically offer a moderate lift suitable for comfortable, all-day wear.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using the original box or a soft dust bag will help protect the suede and maintain their shape.

Like most dyed materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Store them away from light to preserve the color.

Use a suede brush to gently buff out scuffs. For deeper marks, consider professional cleaning. Apply a suede protector spray to minimize future damage.

The elastic is designed to offer a gentle hold. If too tight, try wearing the sandals for short periods to stretch them naturally. If too loose and not providing enough security, this may indicate a fit issue.

For minor wear on the espadrille sole, a cobbler may be able to re-sole or repair it. Regular maintenance and avoiding excessive wear in harsh conditions can prolong the life of the sole.

This can sometimes occur with new suede. Ensure the suede has been properly treated and allow any excess dye to fade. Wearing with darker socks or trousers initially might help.
