FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, thanks to the comfortable block heel and cushioned insole, these shoes are designed for stability and comfort during extended periods of wear.
How do I clean the black suede material?
It's recommended to use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and dust, and a suede eraser for minor stains. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners as they can damage suede.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and then brush the nap back into place.
What kind of outfits do these shoes complement?
Their versatile style makes them suitable for a wide range of outfits, from professional office attire and formal events to smart casual looks and evening wear.
Is the block heel comfortable for walking?
Yes, the block heel is specifically chosen for its stability and supportive nature, making it comfortable for walking and standing compared to thinner heel types.
How do I maintain the shape of the shoes when not in use?
Stuffing the shoes with acid-free tissue paper or using shoe trees can help maintain their original shape and absorb any residual moisture when not being worn.
Are these shoes true to size?
The shoes are designed in standard UK sizing. For the most accurate fit, refer to the brand's sizing guide. The 'Wide Fit' variant provides additional room for broader feet, ensuring greater comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction to achieve a uniform and revitalized look.
Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing.
Ensure you have the correct size. The wide fit is designed to provide extra room, but if still slightly snug, consider wearing thick socks to gently stretch them or using a shoe stretcher designed for suede.
Shoes become stained with dirt or liquid.
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For more stubborn or liquid stains, gently blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Once dry, use a suede eraser or very fine sandpaper for suede to lightly buff out the mark. Avoid rubbing vigorously or using excessive water.

Care
Due to their suede material, these shoes require specific care to maintain their appearance and longevity.
- Protection: Before first wear, consider applying a specialized suede protector spray to guard against stains and moisture.
- Cleaning: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For deeper stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, gently blot excess moisture with a clean cloth. Stuff them with crumpled paper (not newspaper, which can transfer ink) to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store your court shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect the suede nap from dust and potential damage. Avoid crushing them with other shoes.
