FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle allows for some customization of the fit, which may accommodate slightly wider feet. However, the overall width is based on a standard fit.
How do I clean the jute wrapping on the wedge?
Gently wipe the jute with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid saturating the material, as this can damage its integrity. Allow it to air dry completely.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
While the suede has some inherent water resistance, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the suede and jute materials.
What is the heel height and does it feel high?
The heel height is 2.95 inches. The CushX™ midsole and ergonomic design are intended to make this heel height feel significantly more comfortable than traditional heels, providing cushioning and support.
How does the CushX™ midsole compare to other cushioning technologies?
The CushX™ midsole is specifically designed for heels, integrating soft EVA cushioning within a firmer shell. This dual-density approach aims to provide both shock absorption and stability, optimizing alignment and comfort for extended wear in heels.
What is the material of the metal buckle?
The metal buckle is made from 100% recycled zinc.
Can the suede be re-colored if it fades?
While some touch-ups might be possible with suede dyes, professional advice is recommended. It's best to protect the suede from fading due to excessive sun exposure.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the strap is not overly tightened. Gently work the buckle back and forth. If persistent, check for any obstructions.
Suede appears discolored or stained
Use a specialized suede cleaner or eraser according to product instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first. For persistent stains, professional cleaning may be required.
Footbed feels stiff initially
This is normal as the footbed conforms to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The CushX™ midsole will soften with wear.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The outsole is designed for everyday use. If you find excessive slipping, ensure the tread is clean. For added grip, consider a thin sole protector application.

Care:
