Troubleshooting
The strap feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal buckle on the side strap. Experiment with different settings until you achieve a comfortable and secure fit that holds your foot in place without pinching.
My feet feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
While the Contour Cushion footbed is designed for comfort, new footwear can sometimes require a short break-in period. Ensure the strap is correctly adjusted and not overtightened. If discomfort persists, consider wearing them for shorter periods initially.
The leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For scuffs or to restore shine, use a quality leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for black leather. Follow the product instructions carefully.
The sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
The rubber sole provides good traction, but some surfaces can be challenging. Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, evaluate the surface you are walking on.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning Leather Uppers: Wipe the leather surface gently with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning or to address scuffs, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for black leather. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Maintaining the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect the leather from dust and scratches.
