Product Information

Full details

These Rick Owens Cantilever 8 Twisted Sandals in Violet are designed for fashion-forward individuals seeking an avant-garde footwear statement. The key benefit is their striking architectural design, combining a sculpted wedge with uniquely twisted straps for a bold silhouette. A potential caveat is the distinct heel height and sculpted shape, which may require an adjustment period for comfortable wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the heel height of these sandals?

The heel height is 8 cm.

What material are the sandals made of?

The sandals are constructed from leather, with a leather sole that includes rubber injections.

How should I clean the violet leather?

Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these sandals true to size?

The product information states they are true to size.

What type of toe does this sandal have?

These sandals feature an open square toe.

Can I wear these for long periods of walking?

While designed for style, the sculpted wedge and heel height might require an adjustment period. They are best suited for events or occasions rather than extensive walking.

What does 'Cantilever' refer to in the name?

Cantilever refers to the design of the wedge heel, which extends outwards without direct support underneath its entire length, creating an architectural and seemingly floating effect.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel too tight or loose

The draped nature of the straps provides some flexibility. Ensure they are positioned comfortably. If significant discomfort persists, professional stretching or adjustment may be considered, though this can alter the design.

Wedge feels unstable

The cantilever wedge design is intentional. Ensure you are walking with an even weight distribution. If instability persists and feels abnormal, inspect the heel for any damage or defects.

Leather scuffing

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service specializing in high-fashion leather goods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These sandals require no assembly. Simply remove them from their packaging and they are ready to wear.

Compatibility: Designed as standalone fashion pieces, they pair best with minimalist clothing that allows their unique design to stand out. Consider outfits that complement or contrast with the violet color.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper and sole gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For tougher marks on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
  2. Storage: Store the sandals in their original dust bag or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential scratches. Keep them away from direct sunlight and heat, which can damage the leather.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Periodically check the rubber injections on the sole. If they appear worn, consider having them professionally inspected or replaced to maintain grip and support.
