Rip Curl Cayen Bloom Open Toe

Cleaning: Brush the sandals regularly with a soft suede brush to remove dust and keep the surface looking nice. Always brush in the direction of the weave, and gently remove dry stains.

Washing: Never machine-wash suede or leather, soak it, or rinse it under the tap. Instead, clean lightly soiled areas with a slightly damp cloth and let the sandals air-dry.

Drying: Let the sandals dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources, as heat can dry out and deform both the leather and the EVA foam. If they get wet, you can stuff them with newspaper to help them keep their shape and draw out moisture.

Treatment: Protect the suede with a waterproofing spray designed for suede and nubuck, and freshen up the woven straps with a suede brush after use.

Storage: Store the sandals in a dry, cool, dark place when not in use - preferably in the original box or a breathable fabric bag. Avoid plastic bags and damp areas, as moisture can damage the leather.

Note: The sandals are not designed for water and should not be worn in wet conditions for extended periods.

What is the Rip Curl Cayen Bloom Open Toe made of?

The upper is made of 100% leather with genuine suede and braided suede straps, while the outsole is made of rubber. The midsole is made of lightweight EVA foam blended with BLOOM algae, making the sandal comfortable and more eco-friendly.

Do the sandals fit true to size?

Cayen Bloom is a classic open-toe slide available in sizes 37-40. If you're between sizes, it's a good idea to choose the size you normally wear in sandals.

Can I wear the sandals in the water?

No, the sandals aren't water-resistant, and suede is best kept dry. Wear them on dry summer days at the beach, in town, and on holiday—and let them air-dry if they do get wet.

Are the sandals comfortable to walk in all day?

Yes. The molded EVA footbed is contoured with built-in arch support, and the lightweight midsole reduces strain on your feet throughout the day. This makes Cayen Bloom a more comfortable choice than completely flat flip-flops when you have to walk many kilometers.

How do I clean the braided suede?

Brush regularly with a soft suede brush, and dab stains with a slightly damp cloth. Never use a washing machine or dryer, and let the sandals air-dry at room temperature.

What does BLOOM mean in the sandal's name?

The midsole is made of EVA foam blended with biomass from algae—what's known as BLOOM foam. The technology provides the same lightweight comfort as regular EVA, but with a reduced environmental footprint.

Is Cayen Bloom a women's sandal?

Yes, this model is a women's sandal with a casual open-toe slide design. It works equally well at the beach, on summer vacation, and for everyday short trips.

How should I store the sandals?

Store them somewhere dry, cool, and dark when not in use—preferably in the original box. Make sure they're completely dry before putting them away, so the suede stays in good condition for longer.
