Care Instructions

When you first start wearing your new sandals, gradually breaking them in is important.

Like all high-quality leather footwear, they might feel slightly rigid at first. This is because the leather is still new and has yet to have the chance to mould to the unique shape of your feet.

By wearing your sandals for short periods initially, you allow your feet and legs to adjust to any new movements or postures gradually.

Over time, the leather straps will soften and the footbeds will begin to mould to your feet, offering a more personalised fit.

As the shoes adapt to your natural walking style, the flexibility will increase, and you’ll find they become more comfortable with every wear.

Patience is key—give your feet time to adjust, and your sandals will soon feel like an extension of you.

Proper care for your sandals will ensure they look as great as last year.

Since they’re made from genuine leather, it’s essential to maintain their suppleness and appearance by regularly treating them with appropriate products.

Leather Care: To keep the leather smooth, soft, and free from scuff marks, apply a high-quality, clear or colour-matching cream polish on a regular basis.

This will help maintain the leather’s natural oils and prevent it from drying out or cracking. The polish also adds a protective layer, shielding the leather from dirt and minor damage, while enhancing its beautiful patina over time.

Suede or Nubuck Care: These materials require a little extra attention. Suede is more prone to picking up dust and stains, so it’s essential to maintain it with the right products.

Apply a liquid colour conditioner designed for suede to nourish and restore the leather, keeping it soft and supple.

Once conditioned, protect your shoes with a silicone-based waterproofing spray. This will help guard against water stains and other types of damage.

It’s also a good idea to use a suede brush regularly to gently remove surface dust and refresh the nap of the material, keeping your shoes looking as good as new.

Rest assured, your sandals are crafted for durability and longevity, but they are not intended for full water submersion.

Leather is a natural material that can harden and become brittle if exposed to excessive moisture.

Water can cause irreversible damage by washing away the natural oils, leading to cracking and stiffness. Furthermore, the glues and sealants used to hold the sandals together are not waterproof.

Immersing your sandals in water can dissolve these adhesives, potentially damaging the shoe components and causing them to separate.

To maintain the integrity of your sandals, always avoid getting them thoroughly wet.

Should your sandals get splashed, simply pat them dry with a soft cloth and allow them to air dry at room temperature. This method, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat, will ensure the leather is not further damaged.
