FAQs
What is the heel height of the Ravel Farran Sandals?
The sandals feature a 10cm (approximately 4 inches) platform block heel.
Are these sandals comfortable for long periods?
Comfort can be subjective with high heels. While the platform design helps distribute pressure, 10cm is a significant height. For extended wear, consider gel inserts or taking breaks.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper features a stylish croc patent finish made from 'Other Materials'. The linings/sock are a blend of 'Other Materials' and 'Leather', and the sole is also 'Other Materials'.
How do I clean the sandals?
Gently wipe the croc patent upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry completely.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the sandals are equipped with an adjustable ankle strap fastening for a secure and customized fit.
Can I wear these sandals with casual clothes?
While primarily designed for dressier occasions and an on-trend look, they can elevate smart casual outfits. They are not recommended for everyday casual wear.
What sizing do these sandals use?
These sandals use standard UK adult female sizing.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap. Ensure it allows a finger to slip underneath comfortably, providing security without restricting blood flow.
Feet slide forward in the sandal.
Consider using non-slip inserts or ball-of-foot cushions. Ensure the ankle strap is appropriately tightened to hold the foot back.
Difficulty walking comfortably in the high heel.
Practice walking on various surfaces indoors. Focus on a heel-to-toe stride. Ensure the sandals are the correct size and fit securely. For prolonged standing, take breaks.
Scuffs or marks appear on the croc patent upper.
For light scuffs, gently buff with a soft, clean, damp cloth. For deeper marks, a patent leather cleaner (if suitable for the 'other materials' finish, test in an inconspicuous area first) might help, or consult a professional.
Sandal feels stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
Allow for a breaking-in period by wearing them for short durations indoors. The materials, especially the lining, may soften slightly over time.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: The upper features a croc patent finish made from 'Other Materials'. Gently wipe any dirt or scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive rubbing, as this can damage the finish.
- Lining and Sock Care: The lining/sock material is a combination of 'Other Materials' and 'Leather'. For leather sections, use a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner sparingly, following product instructions. For 'Other Materials', a damp cloth should suffice.
- Sole Care: The sole is made from 'Other Materials'. Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid prolonged exposure to rough surfaces that could prematurely wear down the sole.
- Drying: If the sandals get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause damage or fading.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.
- Avoid Harsh Conditions: Protect your sandals from prolonged exposure to extreme heat, cold, or moisture, as these can degrade the materials.
