Full details

FAQs
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is made of leather for the insole and rubber for the outsole, providing a balance of comfort and durability.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The buckle-fastening ankle strap allows for some adjustability, which can accommodate slightly wider feet. However, the overall width is determined by the sandal's last.
How do I clean the silver hardware?
The silver-tone hardware can be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, a mild silver polish can be used sparingly, taking care not to apply it to the leather.
What is the toe shape?
The sandals feature a round open toe shape.
Where are these sandals made?
These Pom d'Api sandals are made in Tunisia.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper and insole are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions to preserve the leather.
How should I store the sandals when not in use?
It is recommended to store them in the provided shoe box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten
Ensure the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle mechanism. If the leather is stiff, gently flex it before attempting to fasten.
Leather feels stiff initially
This is normal for new leather products. Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow them to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Discoloration on leather
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. If significant discoloration occurs, consult a leather care specialist.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean. For improved traction on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional sole treatment.
