FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The product description states they are true to size and have a standard fit. It is recommended to order your usual size. If you are between sizes, trying them on or checking detailed size charts is advised.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Josef Slide Sandal has a wide strap detail and a standard fit. While they offer a comfortable fit for many, individuals with exceptionally wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is the best way to confirm.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the 'Other Materials' sole offers some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to water to prevent damage to the leather.
How should I clean the leather?
Clean the leather upper by wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. For best results and to maintain the leather's condition, consider using a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner periodically.
What type of sole do these sandals have?
They feature a flat heel with a chunky sole made from 'Other Materials', designed for durability and traction.
Is the lining made of leather?
No, the lining is made of textile material for comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight
The leather may need a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For slick surfaces, exercise caution. The sole provides good grip under normal conditions, but extreme conditions may require different footwear.
Discoloration on leather
This could be due to moisture or friction. Try cleaning with a damp cloth and follow up with a suitable leather conditioner. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading.
