FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The fit depends on individual foot shape. While made from quality leather that can stretch slightly, they are designed for standard width feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts carefully.
How do I clean the rope part of the wedge?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely away from heat.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these sandals in wet conditions as it can damage the leather and the rope material, potentially affecting the glue and structure.
What is the best way to store these sandals?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bag or a soft cloth, to protect the leather and studs from scratches and dust.
What does 'bicolor calfskin' mean?
Bicolor refers to the use of two contrasting colors in the leather's design. Calfskin is leather made from a young cow, known for its softness and fine grain.
Are the Rockstuds sharp?
While decorative, the Rockstuds have defined edges. They are generally not considered sharp enough to cause injury with normal wear, but care should be taken to avoid snagging clothing.
Troubleshooting
Studs feel loose
Gently try to tighten the studs by hand if possible, or consult a cobbler specializing in luxury goods for professional attention.
Leather shows scuff marks
Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair balm suitable for the color and finish. For deep scuffs, professional repair may be necessary.
Rope heel appears frayed
Trim any minor frays carefully with small, sharp scissors. For significant fraying, consult a professional for repair or replacement options.
Discomfort after initial wear
Allow the sandals to break in gradually. Wear them for short periods initially and increase duration as the leather molds to your foot.
