FAQs
Do these sandals run true to size?
No, they run small. We recommend sizing up to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I wear these for formal events?
Yes, the jewelled buckle and sophisticated design make them appropriate for evening wear and formal gatherings.
How do I protect the openwork detailing?
Avoid wearing them in muddy or rough terrain that could snag or tear the delicate material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Due to the pointed toe design, they may not be the most comfortable option for very wide feet, and sizing up is essential if you have a wider foot profile.
How should I store them?
Store in a breathable shoe bag or a cool, dry closet to protect the materials from dust and heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight in the toe area
If you have already purchased the correct size up, try wearing them with thin hosiery for a short period to allow the material to slightly soften.
Jewelled buckle appears loose
Check the underside of the buckle for any snagged threads; if the metal attachment is loose, consult a professional cobbler to secure the ornament.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ALMA EN PENA sandals, please note the following:
- Sizing: These shoes run smaller than standard UK sizes. It is highly recommended to size up by at least a half or full size to ensure adequate toe room.
- Compatibility: Best paired with lighter fabrics and structured clothing that complements the delicate nature of the openwork.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust. For the jewelled buckle, a gentle touch with a microfiber cloth will maintain its luster without scratching the surface.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from stiffening or fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain the pointed toe shape.
