FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, the Ravel Ridley series generally aligns with standard UK sizing conventions for adult women.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Leather is a natural material that can be damaged or stained by excessive water exposure.
How do I clean the leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather conditioner appropriate for smooth leather.
Do the straps rub against the skin?
The straps are designed to be ergonomic, but like most leather footwear, they may require a brief breaking-in period to soften.
Are the buckles made of real gold?
No, they are gold-tone hardware, meaning they have a gold-colored finish designed for aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Buckles feel loose after walking
Ensure the buckle prong is fully seated in the desired adjustment hole and the strap is tucked through the retaining loop.
Leather feels stiff on the first wear
Wear the sandals for short intervals around the house with socks to help the leather soften and mold to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, adjust the gold-tone buckles so the straps are snug but not restricting; you should be able to slide a finger easily beneath the strap. For care, keep the leather clean by wiping away dust with a dry, soft cloth. If the leather encounters light moisture, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources. To maintain the gold-tone finish on the buckles, avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the plating. Store the sandals in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the leather from cracking.
