FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, they are made of leather and are not designed for water use. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the material.

How do I ensure the correct size for my child?

It is recommended to measure your child's feet using a standard measuring gauge, accounting for a little room for natural growth.

Can these be worn without socks?

Yes, the breathable leather lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.

Do the straps stretch over time?

As with most leather footwear, the straps may soften and show slight movement, but the dual-buckle system allows you to re-adjust for a snug fit.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The double adjustable buckles provide significant flexibility to accommodate a variety of foot widths, including slightly wider fits.

Troubleshooting

Buckles feel stiff or difficult to fasten

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the straps to soften the material, making them easier to manipulate.

Foot slipping within the sandal

Ensure both buckles are adjusted to their tightest comfortable setting to better secure the foot within the heel cup.

Leather looks dull

Use a neutral leather cream or polish suitable for children's footwear to restore the natural shine and protect the material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, breathable leather material
  • Fully adjustable double buckles for a custom fit
  • Excellent moisture absorption keeps feet comfortable
  • Lightweight design suitable for all-day wear
  • Provides reliable heel support for growing feet

Cons

  • Buckle fastenings may be difficult for younger children to operate alone
  • Leather requires specific care to maintain appearance
  • Not intended for water immersion or heavy-duty rough terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, start by loosening both buckles fully before placing the child's foot into the sandal. Adjust the bottom buckle first to secure the forefoot, then tighten the top strap to stabilize the ankle. Ensure there is enough room for natural toe movement without the foot sliding forward.

For care, wipe the leather uppers with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sandals in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives. If they get wet, air-dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
