Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the Marta series is designed for comfort, though it is recommended to break them in gradually if you plan to wear them for extended periods immediately.

How do I determine the right size?

Vagabond shoes generally fit true to size. Consult the size guide provided for your specific region, noting that these are UK sizes.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy downpours, and if they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

What type of leather is used?

The Marta series utilizes high-quality cow leather, known for its balance of flexibility and robustness.

Are these pumps suitable for wide feet?

The fit is standard. If you have wider feet, the leather will stretch over time, but you may consider trying them on with thin socks during the break-in process to speed up the expansion.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first wear

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your feet over time; wear them indoors for short intervals to soften the material.

Surface scuffs appearing on the leather

Use a high-quality black shoe cream to buff out scuffs and restore the uniform color of the leather.

Heel tips wearing down

Take your shoes to a professional cobbler to replace the heel taps periodically to prevent damage to the actual heel structure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Marta heels remain in top condition, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe protector spray before the first wear to guard against moisture and dirt.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape when not in use.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes pair best with neutral-toned professional wear or minimalist monochrome outfits, making them a staple for capsule wardrobes.
