It's important to us that every parcel completes its journey safe and sound, but sometimes there are locations that may not have nearby collection points to make this possible. If this is the case, Sendle may opt to have these parcels returned to the sender.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY SHOES?
Shoes that are suede leather should not be washed with water or detergent. Instead, use a suede brush or lightly rub with a towel. After each wear, please keep all climbing shoes well ventilated. Indirect sunlight helps reduce bacteria and odour, but NEVER leave climbing shoes in direct sunlight or a hot car as high temperatures can deform the rubber.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIQUID AND DRY CHALK?
Both liquid and dry chalk helps to absorb sweat on your hands and improve your grip. Liquid chalk is dissolved in a quick drying alcohol that gives you longer lasting and more even coverage compared to dry chalk. This means more chalk on your hands and less chalk dust in the air!
WHY DOES THE COLOUR OF MY SHOES LOOK DIFFERENT?
When purchasing leather products including suede, please remember that it is a natural product & some variations between pairs in terms of colour and finishes may occur.
DOES YOUR LIQUID CHALK CONTAIN RESIN/ROSIN?
No, our latest formula does not contain resin. However, there are some remaining 100ml bottles from an old batch that contain resin. This is clearly marked on each bottle label.
DOES YOUR COLOURED CHALK CONTAIN DYES? IS IT SAFE?
The natural rock mineral pigments we use are skin safe and ethically harvested. It has not been tested on animals. We don’t use coloured dyes that can leach into the rock or wash away over time, leaving behind white residue.
