Frequently Asked Questions

Q: The leather on my sandals is dark in some areas and light in others. Is this a mistake?

All beek sandals are hand-dyed so there is a natural inconsistency to them. Take pride in it! Your sandals are one-of-a-kind!

Q: I have a narrow foot, what style is best for me?

Our sandals are fitted on a very “average” sized last (meaning the “mold” we use). If you are more narrow then we recommend contacting our customer service and we will “walk” you through (ha!) some suggestions. Here is the email address: help@thebeeknest.com

Q: I have a wide foot, what style is best for me?

Our sandals are fitted on a very “average” sized last (meaning the “mold” we use). If you are wide then we recommend contacting our customer service and we will “walk” you through (ha!) some suggestions. Here is the email address: help@thebeeknest.com

Q: Do you ship internationally?

Unfortunately we don’t. Please visit our online retailers to check out their selection.

Q: The sandals with leather soles feel a bit “stiff” at first. Will this loosen up?

Absolutely. We take great pride in our all-leather soles (that entire sole is made of compressed leather which will age beautifully). Within hours of wearing them the leather will soften up and start molding to your feet. They will feel like custom made shoes just for you!

Can you help me with sizing?

We’ve made every effort to size our sandals perfectly to a whole size model (meaning: size 6, size 7, size 8, size 9, size 10). If you are a half size footed person we recommend sizing up. Our closed-toe footwear now comes in half sizes (as of Fall 2017). Yay! So you should fit to your true size. Our leather is VERY soft (of course) so there will be a bit of stretch to it. So if the shoes are fitting snug then that is perfect.

Your shoes are “slippery” at first when I put them on. Will they stay this slippery?

No, they won’t. All leather soles (meaning the bottom of the shoe) are naturally slippery since the leather is compressed. Much like a high-end pump would be slippery or a nice man’s dress shoe. Once they are scuffed up this will go away. So don’t go easy on them! Go scuff them up! Our shoes are meant to be lived in and loved in.

The sandals rise a little bit in the front, is this normal?

Not really. :-) We CHOSE to put a “toe spring” molded into our leather because it is a more natural curve to your foot and will add to the comfort and support of the sandals. The leather will start relaxing, and according to how your personal toes sit, the leather will lower to that spot and provide support (much like an arch) for your toes! We’ve made every effort to make our shoes as comfortable (and pretty) as possible.
