All our sandals are made in Spain, with a footbed of natural cork. With a little care they last for years, and the cork moulds to your foot as you wear them. Before anything else, check which family your pair belongs to: cork models and Swim models are looked after differently.
Cork models: keep them dry
The footbed is natural cork and the uppers are leather in almost every model (smooth leather, suede-effect and other finishes). They are not made to get wet.
- Avoid rain, puddles, the beach and the pool.
- If they get damp, let them dry at room temperature and in the shade, away from radiators, heaters and direct sun. Never use a hairdryer.
- Do not put them in the washing machine or under the tap.
Uppers: leather and suede-effect finishes
- Remove dust with a soft brush, always in the direction of the grain.
- On suede-effect finishes, a suede eraser lifts small marks; brush the nap up afterwards.
- A waterproofing spray for leather protects against splashes. Test it first on a hidden spot.
The cork footbed
- Darkening on the footbed is normal: it is the cork taking the shape of your foot.
- If you see the edge of the cork looking dry or dull over time, a cork sealant restores its protection.
- Let them breathe: do not leave them in a closed bag after a long day.
Swim models (Wanda, Wendy and Winrar)
The Swim line is made to get wet: beach, pool, shower or rain.
- Rinse them with fresh water after the sea or the pool to remove salt and chlorine.
- To clean them, use water and a little neutral soap.
- Let them dry in the shade. Avoid leaving them for hours in strong sun or inside a hot car.
Storing them
- Keep them in a dry, airy place, out of direct sun.
- Do not stack heavy things on top that could bend the footbed.
