Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or dry
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner designed for luxury footwear. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.
Soles appear slippery
The leather sole may become slippery when new or when wet. Consider having a cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector for enhanced grip, especially if walking on slick surfaces.
Scuffs or minor marks on leather
For minor scuffs, try using a matching colored shoe polish or cream. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather repair service.
Sandals do not fit comfortably
Leather can stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If the fit remains problematic, consider if this is the correct size or style for your foot shape.
