Why Proper Care Matters for Your Southshore Sandals
Your OluKai Southshore sandals are built for versatility, whether you're at the beach or exploring town. With waterproof leather straps and a Wet Grip Rubber outsole, they can handle a lot, but a little regular care goes a long way in keeping them comfortable and looking their best.
Southshore Sandals Key Features
-
Southshore - Dusty Pink Coral / Golden Sand: Waterproof full-grain leather straps are ideal for beach activities and water sports. Waterproof leather resists water damage, so you can rinse off sand and salt without worry.
Southshore - Dusty Pink Coral / Golden Sand
-
Southshore - Dusty Pink Coral / Golden Sand: Wet Grip Rubber outsole ensures excellent traction on various surfaces. The rubber outsole can trap grit; occasional cleaning keeps the grip effective and prevents slipping.
-
Southshore - Dusty Pink Coral / Golden Sand: Soft footbed provides ultimate comfort for all-day wear. The footbed is the most contacted part of the sandal; keeping it clean prevents odor and maintains cushioning.
How to Clean Your Southshore Sandals
Follow these simple steps to clean your sandals after a day at the beach or a casual outing.
- 1. Rinse off loose debris: Use fresh water to rinse away sand, salt, and dirt from the straps, footbed, and outsole. Avoid using hot water, which may affect the leather.
- 2. Gentle cleaning for the straps: For the waterproof leather straps, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Gently wipe the straps, then rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
- 3. Clean the footbed and outsole: The soft footbed and Wet Grip Rubber outsole can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap. Pay attention to the grooves in the outsole where small stones can lodge.
- 4. Air dry away from direct heat: Let your sandals air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or hair dryers. Heat can cause the leather to crack or the footbed to warp.
Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Wear
To keep your Southshore sandals in top condition, avoid prolonged exposure to chlorinated water or harsh chemicals, which may affect the leather finish. If your sandals get wet, allow them to dry completely before storing. For the Dusty Pink Coral / Golden Sand colorway, occasional gentle cleaning helps maintain the soft pink hue and prevents discoloration from dirt or sunscreen.
