Three things to know before you buy
One · where this pair can rub
- 1
Along the edges of the band
A single band carries the whole hold, so all of the pressure runs along its two edges.
What reduces it: Work the band edge between your fingers before the first wear. The strap softener speeds this up; a pad under the edge helps on long days.
- 2
Along the back heel edge
The rear edge of the footbed meets the heel at an angle while the leather is still firm.
What reduces it: The edge rounds off with wear. Until it does, an oval anti-rub pad on the heel edge — not on your skin — takes the contact.
Two · break-in
Leather straps start firm. Expect 3–5 wears before they take the shape of your foot. Wear them indoors first and keep the first outdoor wear short.
Leather Strap Softener — USD 28Three · barefoot wear
Worn barefoot, the footbed takes sweat directly. Wipe it with a barely damp cloth after each wear and let it dry away from direct sun. The leather will darken where the ball of your foot and heel sit — that is patina, and it is a characteristic of unfinished leather, not a fault.
How to clean a footbed
Pads cut for the 2 points marked above
along the edges of the band, along the back heel edge — the shapes in this set are cut for exactly these positions. They go on the sandal, not on your skin.
