Frequently Asked Questions
How do the Women's Suede Cork Sandals fit? Should I size up or down?
Available in US sizes 6 to 11. These run true to standard US sizing. If you are between two sizes, we recommend sizing up for open-toe styles since your toes should not hang over the front edge — that causes pressure points and looks off.
Do these need breaking in? Will they cause blisters?
Suedette is softer than synthetic leather out of the box, so break-in is minimal — most customers are comfortable from the first wear. However, suedette does not stretch, so if the fit feels tight at the store, it will stay tight. The material is also more prone to friction marks than leather, so if you notice rubbing on the first wear, apply a thin adhesive moleskin pad to that spot rather than pushing through it.
What surfaces can I wear these on? Are they slippery on wet floors?
The standard outsole grips well on dry indoor surfaces, pavement, and concrete. On wet tile or polished floors, these will be slippery — most open-toe styles are. For a wedding or outdoor event on grass, go with a wedge or flat style instead.
Are these suitable for wide feet, bunions, or plantar fasciitis?
These are fashion-first footwear and do not have built-in orthotic support. If you have plantar fasciitis, the flat footbed will likely cause heel pain after 30-60 minutes of standing. You can improve this by adding a stick-on arch support pad — they are inexpensive and make a noticeable difference. For wide feet, note that most of our styles are standard width. If your foot spills over the sides of the footbed, the style is too narrow and will cause edge pressure — go up half a size or choose an open-sided design.
How long will these last? How do I take care of them?
Suedette looks great but requires more care than leather or synthetic alternatives. It scuffs easily — expect visible wear marks within 2-4 weeks of regular use, especially on lighter colors. Use a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply monthly. To clean, use a dry suede brush in one direction — water will stain suedette permanently. Store away from direct sunlight as the color will fade. With proper care, expect 4-6 months of regular wear before the material shows significant aging.
Are the colors accurate to the photos?
Product photos are taken under studio lighting which can make colors appear slightly different from real life. the Brown shade may appear lighter or darker depending on your screen brightness. the Brown shade may appear lighter or darker depending on your screen brightness. The Black is a true solid black. the Pink is a soft blush tone, not hot pink. the Gray is a medium neutral gray without blue or brown undertones. the Dark Gray is a medium neutral gray without blue or brown undertones. the Khaki is a warm neutral that pairs easily with most outfits. the Navy Blue may appear darker indoors than in outdoor daylight. If color accuracy matters to you, we recommend ordering two colors and returning the one you like less — our return policy covers this.
What if they don't fit or I don't like them?
You have 30 days from delivery to return for a full refund, no questions asked. The shoes need to be unworn outdoors — indoor try-on is fine and expected. We check the soles when processing returns, so try them on carpet or clean floors rather than outside. If you are unsure about sizing, order two sizes and return the one that does not fit. Return shipping is covered on all US orders. Refunds are processed within 3-5 business days after we receive the return.
