FAQs
How do I clean the leather upper of these sandals?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner, following the product's instructions. Avoid immersing the sandals in water.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These sandals come in a `regular shoe width`. While the touch fasten closure allows for some adjustability, those with significantly wider feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is `touch fasten` closure?
Touch fasten refers to a hook-and-loop fastening system (often known by brand names like Velcro). It allows for quick, easy, and adjustable securing of the straps for a personalized fit.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the RIRICON sole offers some grip, the leather upper is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
These sandals feature a `flat` heel, meaning it is under 2.5cm, prioritizing comfort and stability for everyday wear.
What kind of sole material is RIRICON?
RIRICON is a synthetic sole material often used by Rieker, known for being lightweight, flexible, and durable, providing good cushioning and traction for comfortable walking.
Are these sandals heavy?
No, a key feature of these sandals is their `lightweight` design, making them comfortable for extended periods of wear without added burden to your feet.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the `touch fasten` straps. Ensure they are snug but not constricting. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct shoe size (UK 7.5 for this model).
My feet are slipping inside the sandals.
Ensure the touch fasten straps are adequately secured. If the sole feels slippery on certain surfaces, exercise caution, especially on wet or smooth floors. The RIRICON sole is designed for general traction but might have limits on specific surfaces.
The leather upper looks dull or dirty.
Clean the leather using a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt or to restore shine, use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Discomfort after wearing for a short period.
Allow for a brief break-in period for the sandals to conform to your foot shape. Ensure the `touch fasten` straps are not overtightened, which can cause pressure points. If discomfort persists, check if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot length and width.
The sandals make a squeaking sound when I walk.
Sometimes new soles can squeak on certain floor types. This often subsides with wear. Ensure the interior is dry, as moisture between the foot and the sole can also cause squeaking. A small amount of talcum powder under the footbed might help if the noise is internal.
