FAQs
What type of leather is used in these sandals?
These sandals are made with Premium Timberland® leather, sourced from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Calista Bay Slide Sandal features a cross-over strap design and an open toe, offering some flexibility. However, for very wide feet, the slip-on style might feel restrictive. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult customer reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, these sandals are not designed for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather upper. It's best to wear them in dry or lightly damp conditions.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Timberland size chart for accurate measurements. These are women's UK sizes, and the sandal features a standard fit. Consider the measurements of your foot for the best match.
What is the main benefit of the EVA footbed?
The EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) footbed provides lightweight cushioning and helps absorb shock, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
Do these sandals have arch support?
The sandals feature a cushioned EVA footbed designed for comfort, but they do not explicitly offer specialized arch support for conditions requiring orthopedic assistance.
How should I break in these leather sandals?
Most leather footwear requires a short break-in period. Wearing them for short durations around the house is recommended. The leather will gradually soften and conform to the shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Sandal feels too tight or loose.
As these are slip-on, fit is primarily determined by size. If slightly tight, wear them around the house to allow the leather to mold to your foot. If significantly loose, consider an alternative size or style with adjustable straps.
Leather shows signs of scuffing or discoloration.
Use a leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for your leather type. For minor scuffs, a leather balm or polish can help restore the color.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole provides traction, but caution is advised on very wet or smooth surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These sandals are designed for casual wear and are compatible with a wide range of summer outfits, including shorts, dresses, and casual trousers. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe tree or stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use.
- Water: While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to excessive water is not recommended for the leather.
