FAQs

What is the primary material of the Babylone Flat Sandals?

The upper is made from 100% calfskin suede, and the sole is made from 100% leather.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The sandals feature a gathered suede upper and an open almond toe, which generally accommodates average-width feet comfortably. For wider feet, they may offer a snug fit.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a suede brush to clean. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, and always test first. Avoid using water directly on the suede material.

Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede in wet conditions, as it can cause damage and staining that is difficult to remove.

What is the significance of the 'Cassandre' logo?

The Cassandre logo is the iconic interlocking YSL initials, a signature symbol of the Saint Laurent brand, adding a distinctive designer element.

Are these sandals good for walking long distances?

While the leather sole provides durability, these are flat sandals designed primarily for style and comfort in moderate use. They may not offer sufficient support or cushioning for extensive walking or strenuous activities.

What UK size does the '4' refer to?

The '4 UK' refers to a UK women's shoe size 4.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears flat or matted

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush in multiple directions to restore its texture and nap.

Scuff marks on the leather sole

Minor scuffs on the leather sole can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather conditioner or polish suitable for soles might be used sparingly.

Discoloration from water or stains

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For set-in stains, consult a professional leather and suede cleaning service. Water damage can be difficult to reverse on suede.

Sandals feel slightly stiff initially

Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow the leather and suede to gently mold to your feet. Avoid prolonged wear until they feel comfortable.
