How to clean and care for leather sandals

To clean NoStrain leather sandals, brush off dust, clean the leather upper with a soft cloth and a leather-safe cleaner when needed, dry-brush the suede footbed, and wipe the PU sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air-dry at room temperature, away from sun and heat.

What your leather sandals are made of

• Upper: leather
• Footbed: suede leather
• Outsole: PU

Each part of a leather sandal needs different handling. Leather needs a leather-safe cleaner, suede should stay dry, and the PU sole can take mild soap and water. You can see the full range in our leather sandals collection.
