FAQs

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

The Palladium Dunelite Riviera Suede is designed for casual wear and comfort, not for rugged hiking. The flexible sole and suede upper are best suited for light walking and everyday activities.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product instructions. Avoid water, as it can damage the suede.

Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to wear suede footwear in wet conditions as it can lead to staining, discoloration, and damage to the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the primary benefit of the Dunelite Riviera Suede?

The primary benefit is the combination of lightweight flexibility and cushioned comfort, inspired by the Pampa outsole, making them ideal for extended wear during summer.

Are these sandals true to size?

Based on user feedback and typical sizing, they are generally considered true to size. However, personal preference for fit and the adjustability of the straps can influence the perceived fit.

What type of activities are these sandals best for?

They are best for casual activities such as walking, beach visits, travel, and everyday wear in warm weather.

How do I adjust the fit?

You can adjust the fit using the two adjustable buckles and straps located across the foot. Loosen or tighten them to achieve your desired level of comfort and security.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions precisely. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Straps are difficult to adjust

Ensure the buckles are clean and free from debris. Gently work the straps back and forth to loosen them. If the straps feel stiff, a very small amount of leather conditioner (not for suede) on the non-suede parts of the strap might help, but always test first.

Sandals feel slightly loose after adjustment

Re-evaluate the strap and buckle positioning for maximum security. Ensure the foot is positioned correctly within the sandal before final adjustments. If significant looseness persists, consider if the size is appropriate.

Suede shows signs of water damage (stiffening, discoloration)

Allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, attempt to restore the suede's texture with a suede brush. For severe damage, professional cleaning may be necessary. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future water damage.
