FAQs

What material are the Saint Laurent Babylone Slides made of?

The slides feature a gathered upper made of 100% calf leather (suede) with a leather lining and insole, and a leather sole.

How should I clean the suede upper?

Use a suede brush for regular maintenance and to remove dust. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid water and test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The gathered upper offers some flexibility, but the fit is generally standard. It's advisable to try them on if possible, or refer to customer reviews regarding fit.

What does the 'Cassandre' signature refer to?

The Cassandre is the iconic interlocking YSL logo, a signature emblem of the Saint Laurent brand, featured here in bronze-toned metal.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as water can damage the material, causing discoloration and texture changes. The leather sole may also become slippery.

What is the size conversion for the UK 6?

The product description mentions the shoe corresponds to an IT 38 size, which is equivalent to a UK 6.

How do I store these slides when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original dust bag or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears discolored or stained.

Use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner. For minor scuffs, a suede brush can often restore the nap. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Slides feel stiff initially.

This is normal for new leather and suede. Wear them around the house for short periods to gently break them in. The leather lining and insole will mold to your foot over time.

Water damage to the suede.

Allow the slides to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture. Consider applying a suede protector spray to help prevent future water damage.
