FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle offers some flexibility in fit. However, the overall design is based on a standard width. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug.
Can I wear these for a full day of walking?
Yes, the CushX™ midsole and ergonomic design are specifically engineered for all-day comfort, even with the 75mm heel height. They are designed to feel like sneakers.
How do I clean the jute-wrapped sole?
Gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. Avoid soaking the jute, as moisture can damage its structure. Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary and allow to air dry.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 75mm (approximately 3 inches).
Is the metallic leather durable?
The metallic leather is designed for style and durability under normal wear conditions. Avoid abrasive contact and use appropriate leather care products to maintain its finish.
What makes the CushX™ midsole different?
The CushX™ midsole is biomechanically designed with dual-density EVA – soft cushioning inside a firmer shell for stability. It includes an impact pillow at the forefoot and an anatomically contoured footbed to diffuse pressure and support the arch, optimizing alignment and comfort.
Can these sandals be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, the jute sole is not designed for excessive moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material and structure.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the curvy brushed-metal buckle to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure the buckle is properly fastened.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure the fit is correct and the foot is properly positioned on the anatomically contoured footbed. Allow your feet to gradually adjust to wearing heels if you are not accustomed to them.
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched.
Gently buff with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather balm might help, but always test on a hidden area first. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather or due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or on the strap junction. Ensure all parts are dry.
