FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for hiking?
No, the Merrell Cove Leather Backstrap is designed for casual wear and light activities. It does not offer the robust support or protection required for hiking.
How do I adjust the strap?
The strap uses velcro. Simply lift the strap and re-position it to tighten or loosen the fit around your foot, then press down to secure it.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the leather can handle light moisture, these sandals are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and allow them to air dry thoroughly afterward.
What type of leather is used?
The upper is made from full-grain leather, which is the highest quality grade of leather, known for its durability and natural appearance.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and climate. Generally, conditioning every 3-6 months is recommended, or whenever the leather appears dry.
What is the expected lifespan of these sandals?
With proper care and regular maintenance, these sandals can last for several years, depending on the frequency and nature of their use.
Troubleshooting
Strap not holding securely
Ensure the velcro surfaces are clean and free of lint. Press firmly to engage the velcro for a secure hold.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a quality leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff gently.
Discomfort from the footbed
Allow a break-in period of a few wears for the foam footbed to mold to your foot. Ensure the strap is adjusted correctly for proper support.
Slight odor after wear
Allow the sandals to air out completely between wears. Use a deodorizing spray designed for footwear if necessary.

Care Instructions:
