What material are the sandals made from?

How do I clean these sandals?

Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
While faux leather offers some water resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions to preserve their material and finish.

Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to a different hole. There are several options to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure it's not too loose, which can lead to instability, nor too tight, which can cause discomfort.
Sandals feel unstable while walking.
First, ensure the ankle strap is securely buckled and fitted snugly. Also, check the surface you are walking on; uneven terrain can affect stability. If issues persist, practice walking in the sandals for short periods to adapt to the heel height.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
High heels, even block heels, can cause discomfort over very long periods. Consider using gel insoles for added cushioning. If wearing for an event, take breaks to sit down when possible to relieve pressure on your feet.
Metallic finish appears dull or scratched.
Gently clean the sandals as per the care instructions. For minor scuffs on the faux leather, some shoe polish specifically for synthetic materials in a matching color might help. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure your Spark High Block Heel Sandals remain in excellent condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: For faux leather, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary, but avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the material or metallic finish. Pat dry with a clean, soft cloth.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a shoe bag to protect them from dust and scratches, especially to preserve the metallic finish.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge the sandals in water. Faux leather can degrade with excessive moisture.
- Protect Heels: Be mindful of rough surfaces that can scratch or scuff the block heels.
