Matte leather for day; satin for night.
Reply:I like satin for more dressy occasions %26amp; matte leather for more casual dress.
Reply:I have a pair of patent leather crisscross heels that have tie-around straps from boutique 58... love mine leathered!
Reply:Satin with knickers to match!
Reply:LEATHER
Reply:I would say the matte leather. Great to see your new pics
Reply:i guess matte leather
Reply:Leather, because it is more sturdy.





Any kind of fabric shoe doesn%26#039;t feel substantial enough to support weight (i%26#039;m 125lbs). Fabric for flats, or a closed heeled shoe, not a strappy heeled shoe.
Reply:Leather....either patent or matte.





I don%26#039;t think satin is in fashion right now...but that%26#039;s just my opinion.

Where can i find 1960's style men's leather ring toe sandals?

I still have a couple of pairs of these sandals, which were readily available until the late 1980%26#039;s. Go on this website:


onevillage.com and click on to toe loop sandals, and I think you will find what you are looking for. The sandals that One Village sells are of way better quality that those of the 1960%26#039;s. The outfit is in the United Kingdom, and they do accept credit card orders. One pair including shipping is about $48.

My leather shoes and sandals get STANKY, especially during the summer. Is there anything i can do?

I have tried washing them often with soap and water, but that doesn%26#039;t help. I have also tried baby powder and putting deodorant on the soles of my feet. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

My leather shoes and sandals get STANKY, especially during the summer. Is there anything i can do?
There are several things to keep in mind.





First, is the smell coming from your feet or the shoes? If its the feet- try using antibacterial soap when you wash them. Most body washes that are moisturizing are not antibacterial. Make sure that you get between the toes and around the toenails as this is where the odor causing bacteria lives. When you get out of the shower, make sure you dry your feet entirely- also paying special attention to the toes and toenails. For added precaution you can wipe down your feet with vinegar which helps to kill any bacteria the soap didn%26#039;t get, and apply baby powder to stop foot sweat.





For the shoes: wiping them with vinegar will help too. Also when purchasing shoes and sandals, look for the ones whose soles are fabric. If your bare foot is sitting on a leather sole, it is more likely to absorb the sweat and smell from your foot. If the sole is fabric- cotton or the like, then you can usually clean it. Most shoe repair stores can assist in cleaning shoes that get %26quot;stanky%26quot; but check prices first. Personally, as I have the same problem in the summer, I try to buy fabric shoes that I can wash. Throw them in the washer with oxy-clean and some vinegar as well as the usual detergent. Set them in the sun to dry. but don%26#039;t do this with leather- it ruins them!!!

Reply:Buy some more shoes and change them every 2 days, so they can dry again, that helps a lot.

also the word stanky is so gross.

Reply:freeze them in the freezer. and use antibacterial soap on your feet like Safegard or dial.
Reply:toss them in the dishwasher and leave them outside to dry - dont wear the same pair two days in a row, and keep your feet super clean.
Reply:I suggest you see your doctor, he can help you with this. My sister had very bad body Oder, no matter how many times she took a shower. As soon as she sweat, she staaaaank. There are foot order powders specially for this purpose. certain deodorants clash with your sweat, and make things even worse. so go see a doc kid.
Reply:Take an old pair of pantihose and fill the feet with a 50/50 mix of Baking soda and baby powder.





Tie them at the ankle and store the shoes with them in the shoes.





That should take care of it. It works with me.
Reply:febreeze them!!
Reply:um....it depends on where u r wearing ur sandles..... try not bringing them to the beach or anywhere they might get wet. if they do end up getting wet dry them off as soon as possible...i would seggest getting another pair of sandles to wear to places where they%26#039;ll get dirty. try getting a pair that aren%26#039;t made of fabric or leather, and are ment for getting wet.
Reply:Wash your feet more than once every 3 months.

Does any1 know if Reef Sandals(leather smoothy) are water proof?
NOOOO WAAAYYY!!!! My sister and I took them to the beach, and they totally got ruined. I say listen to gatorgirl and never ever get leather wet, unless theres something on the tag that says %26quot;water resistant%26quot;. The edges of our sandals started flipping up, and the leather started to get all rough, like a wool shirt kind of.

Are Reef sandals made of pig leather?

Hi, I am a muslim and hence cant use anything made of pig. What i want to know is if the leather used in making reef sandals are pig leather?

Are Reef sandals made of pig leather?
assalamu alaykum





Even if the sandals are made of leather from the skin of a pig, you can still wear the shoes. We are prohibited from eating pork but NOT from using the hide to make leather.





The prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) is reported to have said:





%26quot;Tanning removes its impurity.%26quot; (Reported by al-Hakim)


%26quot;If the skin is tanned, it is purified.%26quot; (Reported by Muslim)





(Tanning is the process of coverting animal skin into leather.)





Conderning these ahadith, Sheikh Qaradawi (may God accept his works) says in _al-halal wa-l haram fee islam_ (The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam):





%26quot;The application of these ahadith is quite general, including the skin of the dog or the pig. This was the opinion of the jurists of the Zahiri school, of Abu Yusuf, the pupil of Abu Hanifah, and of al-Shawkani.%26quot;

Anyone know where I can find a pair of leather ring toe sandals?

We used to call them %26quot;JC sandals%26quot; back in the 70%26#039;s. When you first purchased them, the were covered in some type of oil. We used to wear them in the shower to remove the oil and the wet leather would take on the shape of your foot. Have not seen them for many years but would really love to have a pair.

Am I suppose to remove the plastic around the toe piece on my new thong-style leather sandals?

There is a tube of clear plastic around the part of the thong that goes between the big toe and the first small toe. I didn%26#039;t know if I should remove it or not. I wore them for the first and only time so far with the tube in place. It was very uncomfortable. Please advise. Thank you.

If it hurts you, just cut it off. I had a sandals pair with this clear tube, when I cut it off, they became my favorite sandals, because of comfort.
Reply:No, the short bit of plastic tube is there to help prevent chafing. It is smother than the leather thong.

Water will help it shrink, but could really ruin the shoes. Take it to a cobbler (like mentioned above) because they will know what they are doing, and won%26#039;t ruin the leather.
Reply:I had a pair of expensive Dr. Martens that my friend stretched out. I got them slightly wet and then wore them until they dried. They re-conformed to my foot shape and were fine! Hope it works for you.
Reply:You could always wear them in a hot shower or hot tub for a little bit, then wear them until dry. They%26#039;ll shrink some , but you%26#039;ll never know without giving it a shot.

leather new, and tooth brush or q-tip. it%26#039;s a leather soap, and it doesn%26#039;t take much to clean them, just dip in the tooth brush and clean them then wipe it off with a dry paper towel, or cloth
Reply:Buy spray made especially for leather or soak a cloth in hot water, strain the water out, and clean.
Reply:The Mr. Clean Eraser, I have also used a Clorox Bleach pen in my white leather sandals and it worked without ruining them! Most sneaker stores sell stuff too that works really well, but it can be expensive. I%26#039;ve used Finish Line and Foot Locker leather cleaners and they both worked too.

How do i clean my stinky leather sandals?

Once they are stinky, they are always going to be stinky. You can mask them , but it will not go away.

How do i clean my stinky leather sandals?
Try putting them in the washing maching with some old towels. I%26#039;ve done this several times and gotten quite a bit of wear out of them after washing. Don%26#039;t use fabric softener or any type of pre-wash treatment, just wash with regular laundry soap and set out in the sun to dry.
Reply:You can clean them with any good leather cleaner, but to remove the smell takes a little longer. Put the sandals in a cardboard box with a lid. Put a container of activated charcoal or baking soda in with them. Activated charcoal works a bit faster and better than baking soda. Leave the sandals in the box for a few days, open the lid and smell. If the odor remains, leave them for a few more days and check again. Repeat until the smell is gone. To keep them from smelling again, use deoderant soap on your feet and either foot spray or powder afterward. Leather breathes in odors and perspiration.
