Troubleshooting

Buckle stiffness or difficulty adjusting

Gently work the buckle back and forth. A small amount of leather conditioner on the buckle strap area can help smooth operation over time.

Leather feels stiff initially

Wear the sandals for short periods indoors to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Scuffs on the waxed leather surface

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a leather balm or conditioner suitable for waxed leather may help.

Discomfort on the heel from the pull tab

Ensure the heel strap is not too tight and that the pull tab is not catching. Consider wearing slightly thicker socks during the initial break-in period.
