FAQs
How do I adjust the strap for the best fit?

Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with the contour cushion footbed and lightweight sole, the Alda Strap Sandals are designed to provide lasting comfort, making them ideal for all-day wear and light activities.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
As these sandals are made from leather, it is generally recommended to avoid heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water to protect the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the best way to clean my tan leather sandals?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for tan leather. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

What activities are these sandals best suited for?

Troubleshooting
Strap feels loose or too tight.
Utilize the adjustable side strap. Unbuckle and re-fasten the strap, pulling it to your desired tightness for a secure yet comfortable fit.
Footbed comfort seems to diminish over time.
Ensure the sandals are cleaned regularly to prevent debris from compacting the cushion. Allow them to air out after each wear to maintain freshness and resilience.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean gently with a damp cloth to remove surface grime, then apply a quality tan leather conditioner. This will help moisturize and restore the leather's natural luster and suppleness.
Sandal feels slightly too big or too small.
While the strap offers adjustment, if the overall size feels incorrect, it's possible you need a different size. Ensure your heel sits correctly and there's no excessive gap or pressure point.
