- Cleaning the Straps:
- For leather straps, use a leather cleaner or a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your sandals, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Discomfort between toes | New sandal, not yet broken in. | Wear for short periods initially to allow the strap to soften and conform. |
| Slippery footbed when wet | Footbed material can become less grippy when wet. | These sandals are not water resistant. Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Ensure feet and sandals are dry before wearing. |
| Straps feel too tight | New leather straps may require stretching. | Wear the sandals regularly. Leather will naturally stretch and adapt over time. |
| Odor development | Accumulation of sweat and bacteria. | Clean the footbed regularly as per maintenance instructions. Ensure sandals are fully dry after use. |
