FAQs

What is the best way to clean the suede material?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first and following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid using water.

How should I care for the raffia wedge heel?

Wipe the raffia gently with a slightly damp cloth to clean it. Allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.

Are these espadrilles suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the espadrilles are designed for comfort with a branded leather insole and a supportive wedge heel, making them suitable for all-day wear, especially in warm weather.

Can I wear these espadrilles in wet conditions?

It is not recommended to wear suede and raffia espadrilles in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the materials and affect their appearance. The rubber outsole offers some protection, but the upper parts are sensitive to water.

What kind of outfits do these espadrilles pair well with?

They pair beautifully with summer dresses, skirts, tailored shorts, and light trousers. Their versatile design makes them suitable for both casual and slightly more dressed-up warm-weather occasions.

What does the tie-fastening ankle strap do?

The tie-fastening ankle strap provides an adjustable and secure fit, ensuring the espadrilles stay comfortably in place while adding a stylish detail.

What does 'epitomize luxury footwear' mean in the description?

It means that the espadrilles represent the highest standard of quality, design, and craftsmanship in the category of footwear, embodying a sense of opulence and fine detailing.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly, following the product's instructions, and allow to dry naturally.

Raffia heel looks scuffed or dirty.

Gently wipe the raffia with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material. Allow to air dry completely.

Ankle strap feels uncomfortable or is too loose/tight.

Adjust the tie-fastening strap to your preferred comfort level. Ensure it is snug enough to secure the shoe but not constricting.

Shoes feel stiff on first wear.

Wear the espadrilles around the house for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. They may require a brief break-in period.
