How do I care for my PIKI POMA products?

All our products are handmade. Therefore, please allow small imperfections, as that is the beauty of handmade items. No two pairs of clogs are the same and each pair has natural variations in color, wood grain and construction. CORK LEATHER (BAGS, , CLOGS UPPER) Easy To Maintain – You may simply clean your cork leather by using a damp cloth with mild soap and water, scrubbing gently as necessary. Interestingly, membranes that make up the cork cells contain Suberin, a waxy substance that keeps cork from absorbing dust, dirt or moisture! Cork is the material that actually improves over time. As it is worn in, it develops „character” and become more flexible, but not lose any of their physical properties. WOOD (CLOGS) If the wood becomes dirty, it is best to gently clean it with a damp cloth or, if necessary, use soap and water. Lightly sanding with fine sandpaper is a good idea if you want to clean up scratches and dents. If the bottoms absorb too much external water, put them in a dry place at room temperature and allow the clogs to dry slowly. Do not heat up your clogs or try to speed up the drying process as this could cause the wood to crack or split. We recommend slipping your clogs off while driving to prevent marks and stains. Stuffing them with newspaper when you’re back will help maintain the shape. Please note that we do not accept returns on clogs that have been chipped. Our clog bases are made of solid wood, and, if struck against a hard surface with sufficient force, will chip. This is the nature of wooden bases, not a material defect. If the outsole rubber falls off, please do not wear your clogs. As wood is soft, it will wear down quickly and become irreparable. Please take your clogs to your local cobbler. Any cobbler will be able to replace the outsole rubber.
