FAQs
What type of leather are these sandals made from?
The Wrenlie sandals are made from Grizzly leather, a heavyweight, subtly grained hide that is designed to soften and develop character with wear.
How do I clean the floral embossing?
Clean the floral embossing gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the pattern or leather.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The fisherman sandal style generally offers some adjustability with the buckle strap. However, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug initially. It is recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated with waterproof sprays, these sandals are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain. The leather and sole construction is best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
How do I adjust the fit of the sandals?
The fit can be adjusted using the antique gold branded buckle located on the strap across the foot. Loosen or tighten the strap as needed for comfort.
What is the main benefit of the Quad Shore sole?
The Quad Shore sole provides a bold, platform aesthetic, adding height and a contemporary edge to the sandal's design, while also offering durability and good grip.
Do these sandals come in other colors or patterns?
The Wrenlie Fisherman Platform Sandals are part of a collection that may feature variations. This specific model is described with floral embossing in brown Grizzly leather. Please check other available listings for different color or pattern options.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff and uncomfortable
This is common with new leather. Wear the sandals around the house for short periods to gradually break them in. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material.
Straps feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the antique gold branded buckle to find the most comfortable fit. If issues persist, consider consulting a cobbler for minor adjustments or professional stretching.
Yellow welt stitching is snagged or damaged
Minor snags can sometimes be carefully trimmed. For significant damage, consult a Dr. Martens store or a qualified cobbler for repair options.
Sole feels heavy or cumbersome
The Quad Shore sole is designed for a bold presence. If it feels too heavy, ensure you are accustomed to platform footwear. Gradually increase wear time to adapt.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your leather sandals:
- Cleaning: Wipe away dirt and debris with a dry or slightly damp cloth. For tougher grime, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for full-grain leather every few months, or as needed, to keep the material supple and prevent drying. This is particularly important for the Grizzly leather to maintain its character.
- Protection: Use a waterproof spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially before exposing them to wet conditions.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with shoe trees or paper can help maintain their shape.
