Setup and Initial Inspection
Upon receiving your Pollini sandals, please follow these steps:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the sandals from their packaging. Retain the original packaging for potential storage or returns.
- Visual Inspection: Examine both sandals for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects. Check the stitching, sole attachment, and strap integrity.
- First Fit: Try on the sandals to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Adjust the ankle strap as needed. The strap should be snug but not restrictive, allowing for natural movement.

Wearing and Usage
These sandals are designed for casual and semi-formal wear. To ensure comfort and prevent premature wear:
- Proper Fit: Ensure your foot sits comfortably within the footbed without toes or heels extending over the edges. The ankle strap provides stability; adjust it to prevent excessive movement while walking.
- Surface Considerations: While durable, the sandals are not intended for rough terrain or prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Avoid walking on sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could damage the sole or upper material.
- Break-in Period: Like all new footwear, a short break-in period may be necessary for the leather to conform to your foot shape.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your Pollini sandals. These sandals are made with 100% Goat Leather for the outer and inner material, and 100% Calf Leather for the sole.
- Cleaning:
- For general cleaning, gently wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for goat and calf leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the leather.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer or artificial heat.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
- Storage: Store sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe bags or the original box can help protect them from dust and damage.
- Sole Care: Inspect the sole regularly for wear. While the sole is made of durable calf leather, excessive wear may require professional resoling to maintain traction and protect the sandal's structure.

Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Discomfort or rubbing | New shoe break-in, incorrect strap adjustment, or improper size. | Allow for a break-in period. Adjust the ankle strap for a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct size. Consider wearing for shorter periods initially. |
| Scuffs or minor scratches on leather | Accidental contact with rough surfaces. | Use a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair balm to buff out minor scuffs. For deeper scratches, professional repair may be needed. |
| Slipping on smooth surfaces | Worn sole or wet conditions. | Inspect the sole for wear. If significantly worn, consider professional resoling. Exercise caution on wet or slippery surfaces. |
