Customer feedback suggests that the Clarks Alda Strap Sandal tends to run small. We recommend sizing up a half size from your usual shoe size for the best fit.

Yes, the Alda Strap features an adjustable side strap with metal hardware, allowing you to customize the fit for optimal comfort and security.
What is the heel height of the sandal?
The heel height of the Alda Strap Sandal is 30mm, providing a comfortable and subtle lift.
Can I wear these sandals all day?

What material are the uppers made of?
The uppers are crafted from premium, supple off-white leather.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too small or tight.
Customer feedback indicates these sandals run small. If you haven't already, consider exchanging for a half size up. For current wear, ensure the adjustable side strap is not overtightened.
Strap feels loose or causes rubbing.
Adjust the metal hardware side strap to find your most comfortable and secure fit. If it's rubbing, ensure it's not too tight or too loose, allowing your foot to shift.
Leather appears dull or dirty.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner for light-colored leather. Apply a leather conditioner to restore suppleness and shine.
Foot slips inside the sandal.
Ensure the adjustable side strap is securely fastened to prevent excessive movement. If your feet tend to perspire, consider using foot powder.

Care Instructions for Leather
To maintain the premium appearance and longevity of your leather sandals:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for off-white or light-colored leather.
- Conditioning: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against stains and water damage, especially on light-colored leather.
