How to clean Salt-Water & Sun-San Sandals

The best way to clean leather sandals is by hand. Wait for a nice dry day, put them in a bowl of cold water and add a little mild detergent. Using a soft cloth (as opposed to something abrasive) wipe them down inside and out. No need to hang them up, just lay them down in the sun to dry. The specially treated leather means they won’t dry hard and the rust proof buckles will also come up sparkling. We recommend that leather protectors and brushes are not used as they can erode the special sealant. Simply washing down with cool water will keep your sandals looking as good as new! 

You can use the same method of cleaning across the entire Salt-Water style and colour range and this method also applies if you want to know how to clean Sun-San Sandals.
