Look after your sandals and they'll look after you for years. The good news: caring for a quality footbed and straps takes minutes. Here's how to keep your Sole Mate sandals fresh.
How to clean your sandals
- Brush off dust and sand with a dry soft brush or cloth.
- Wipe with a damp cloth. For most marks, a soft cloth and a little water is all you need.
- Spot-clean stubborn marks with a drop of mild soap on a damp cloth, then wipe clean.
- Air-dry away from direct sun and heat — never on a radiator or in a hot car.
How to clean the footbed
Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth to lift everyday oils and dust, then let it dry fully before wearing again. Avoid soaking it.
Caring for the tops
Store your tops flat so the straps keep their shape — they fold neatly into the travel clutch that comes with every base. Keep them out of prolonged direct sun.
Make them last even longer
This is the quiet advantage of a modular sandal: when you want a fresh look, you swap a top instead of replacing the whole pair, so the hard-working base lasts season after season. Explore the bases or build your set.
