What materials are used in the construction of these boots?
The upper consists of a synthetic lining and leather. The sole is made from synthetic material.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
These boots are designed with a standard fitting. If you typically require a wide fit, they may feel snug.
How do I care for the Brown/Beige Zebra pattern?
To clean the pattern, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing or strong chemicals to preserve the print. For deeper cleaning, use a multi-material shoe cleaner and test in an inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these boots for casual daytime outings?
While primarily designed to add glamour to night-time attire, these boots can certainly be styled for smart-casual daytime looks. Pair them with tailored separates or dark wash jeans for a chic statement.
What type of fastening do these boots have?
The Ravel Currans Ankle Boots feature a convenient side zip fastening, allowing for easy put on and take off.
Troubleshooting
Boots are difficult to put on or take off.
Ensure the side zip fastening is fully open before attempting to put on or take off the boots. If the boots feel tight, try wearing thin socks during the initial wears to help break them in.
The material looks dull or dirty.
For the synthetic and leather upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild, multi-material shoe cleaner designed for both synthetic and leather. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Boots feel uncomfortable after wearing for a short period.
While the 5cm kitten heel is designed for comfort, new boots sometimes require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Ensure you have the correct size and consider adding thin insoles for extra cushioning if needed, provided they don't make the fit too tight.
Slight slipping noticed on smooth surfaces.
The boots feature a synthetic sole. While generally suitable, synthetic soles can be less grippy than rubber on very smooth or wet surfaces. Exercise caution on such surfaces. If persistent, a cobbler may be able to add a thin, non-slip sole protector.
