Care Guide

Regular Maintenance
Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth after wear to remove dust and dirt. Use a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks to maintain the full-grain braided leather finish and preserve suppleness.

Cleaning & Protection
Use color-appropriate leather cream—green cream for green sandals, beige cream for beige sandals, coffee cream for coffee sandals. For the braided detail, use a soft brush to gently remove dirt from between the woven sections. Allow to air-dry completely.

Storage & Drying
Air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight. If exposed to water during warm-weather wear, dry naturally without forcing heat. Store in a breathable dust bag away from humidity and direct sunlight to prevent color fading.

Buckle & Elastic Maintenance
Inspect the buckle periodically for secure fastening. The elastic provides flexible fit but may need gentle stretching if it becomes too tight after extended wear. A qualified craftsperson can adjust if necessary.

Sole & Insole Care
Periodically brush the rubber sole to maintain non-slip properties. The bonded leather insole will develop character with wear—this is natural and part of premium quality. If the insole becomes compressed after extended use, it can be replaced by a qualified cobbler.

Braided Leather Preservation
The hand-braided detail is a hallmark of these sandals—gentle care preserves the integrity of the weaving. Avoid excessive exposure to standing water despite the durable leather.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is hand-braided leather and why is it used?
Hand-braided leather involves interwoven strips of leather that create authentic texture and visual interest. Braiding demonstrates artisanal craftsmanship and creates flexible, breathable footwear perfect for warm-weather wear. Each pair’s braiding pattern is unique.

2. How do I choose the correct size?
Choose by foot length, NOT by your country’s usual shoe size. Measure from heel to longest toe. Match your measurement to the sizing chart provided. For example, if your foot is 24.6-25 cm, order EU 40.

3. Is the buckle closure secure for extended wear?
