FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for walking long distances?
Yes, the contoured cork-latex footbed is designed for comfort and support, making them suitable for extended wear and moderate walking.
How do I know if the narrow fit is right for me?
A narrow fit is generally suitable for individuals whose feet are slimmer than average. If you typically find standard-width shoes to be loose, a narrow fit might be appropriate. If standard widths feel snug, these might be too tight.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While the leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to water as it can affect the leather and the cork footbed over time. Allow them to air dry completely if they do get wet.
How do I clean the EVA platform sole?
The EVA platform can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure to wipe it dry afterwards.
What is the platform height?
The platform height is approximately 2.5 cm.
Does the leather material require special treatment?
The leather should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For maintenance, a suitable leather conditioner can be used periodically to keep the material supple, but avoid excessive products that could clog the leather's pores.
Are these sandals vegan?
No, the upper material is made of 100% leather, and the footbed contains natural cork and latex.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
Utilize the adjustable buckles on each strap to customize the fit for your individual foot shape. Ensure the buckle pins are securely fastened.
Footbed feels stiff initially.
The cork-latex footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time with wear. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they break in.
Leather shows minor scuffs.
For light scuffs, gently buff the area with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider using a leather conditioner or cream suitable for the 'Oyster' color.
Sandals feel narrower than expected.
These are designed with a narrow fit. If they are uncomfortably tight, they may not be the correct width for your foot. Consider trying a standard fit model if available.
