FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
The Genial series generally aligns with standard European sizing converted to UK equivalents; if you are between sizes, consider your usual fit for high-end designer footwear.
Can I wear these in the rain?
No, the suede upper is sensitive to water and should be kept dry to avoid permanent spotting or damage to the material.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry cleaning and a suede eraser for localized marks. Do not use water or liquid cleaners.
Is the heel height comfortable for all-day wear?
While the square heel is more stable than a stiletto, it remains a high-heeled shoe designed for occasional wear rather than all-day walking.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is a hybrid of leather and rubber, providing a balance between elegance and traction.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the sandal features a standard buckle closure that allows for multiple sizing adjustments for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose or insecure
Ensure the strap is threaded correctly and pulled snugly before locking the buckle; if the holes show signs of wear, a leather punch can be used to add a slightly tighter setting.
Suede appears dull after storage
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently buff the material in circular motions to revive the texture.
Minor scuffs on the leather/rubber outsole
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris and ensure the rubber sections remain clean for optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Genial sandals, proper care is essential. Given the suede material, it is recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and light staining. If the suede becomes dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. Avoid exposure to harsh rain or mud, as these can permanently damage the texture. When not in use, store your sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees or tissue paper stuffing to maintain their shape and prevent creasing in the ankle strap area.
