FAQs
What material are these sandals made of?
The sandals are made from 100% cow leather.
How do I clean the sandals?
Do not wash. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner as needed, testing on a small area first.
What is the heel height?
These sandals feature a flat heel, providing comfort for all-day wear.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the ankle strap features a buckle fastening which allows for adjustment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
What is the toe shape?
The sandals have a contemporary square-toe shape.
Can these sandals be worn for long walks?
Yes, the flat heel and secure ankle strap make them suitable for walking, but breaking them in first is recommended for maximum comfort.
What occasions are these sandals best suited for?
They are perfect for spring and summer occasions, suitable for both casual outings and slightly dressier events due to their minimalist and chic design.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buckle prong is correctly aligned with the hole. If stiff, try gently working the buckle back and forth. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant (applied to the prong only) might help if the issue persists.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a leather conditioner suitable for cow leather. Use a soft cloth to gently rub the conditioner into the leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff with a clean cloth.
Stitching appears loose.
For minor loose threads, carefully trim with small, sharp scissors. If the stitching is significantly unraveling, consult a professional cobbler for repair.
Straps feel uncomfortable after a short period.
Ensure the ankle strap is not too tight. Leather can take time to mold to the foot; wearing them for short periods initially can help break them in.
