FAQs

How do I clean the leather on these sandals?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Always allow the sandals to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Are these sandals suitable for hiking?

They are suitable for light hiking on maintained trails due to their durable construction and good grip. However, they do not provide the advanced support or protection needed for rugged or technical hiking.

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent damage and discomfort.

What is the best way to adjust the fit?

Use the adjustable straps to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. The straps should secure your foot without causing pressure points or restricting circulation.

How long does the leather typically take to break in?

The break-in period can vary per individual. Most users find them comfortable after a few wears, but some may need a week or two of occasional wear to fully soften the leather.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide excellent traction and grip on various surfaces.

Are these sandals available in other colors or sizes?

This guide specifically covers the Black, UK 7.5 variant. Please check product listings for availability of other colors and sizes.

Troubleshooting

Sandal feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the hook-and-loop or buckle straps to achieve a more personalized and secure fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected.

Leather feels stiff.

The leather may require a break-in period. Wear the sandals for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides grip, exercise caution on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the sole is free from mud or debris that could reduce traction.

Discoloration or damage to leather.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Use appropriate leather care products for cleaning and conditioning to maintain the material's appearance and integrity.
