FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable buckle allows for some customization of the fit. However, the strap design might be snug for very wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these sandals in heavy rain. The leather upper and especially the jute-wrapped sole are sensitive to excessive moisture and can be damaged or discolored.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is approximately 75mm (about 3 inches).
How do I clean the jute sole?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and spot clean. Ensure the jute dries completely and avoid soaking.
Do these sandals offer good arch support?
Yes, they feature an anatomically contoured footbed designed to diffuse pressure and provide natural arch support.
What makes the CushX™ midsole comfortable?
The CushX™ midsole combines soft EVA cushioning within a firmer EVA shell for stability, engineered biomechanically to optimize alignment and provide a comfortable, sneaker-like feel in a heeled shoe.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is crafted from rich, luxe leather with a raw-edge finish.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the buckle tongue is correctly aligned with the holes. If stiff, try gently wiggling it as you adjust. Avoid forcing the buckle.
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or cream with a soft cloth, following the product instructions. Buff gently.
Jute sole shows signs of wear or discoloration
For minor marks, try spot cleaning with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. For significant damage, professional assessment may be needed.
Discomfort after extended wear
Ensure the fit is correctly adjusted using the buckle. If persistent, check that the footbed's anatomical contouring is suitable for your foot shape. Take breaks from wearing heeled shoes.
