FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While designed for impact, they can be worn for daily use if your activities involve less strenuous walking. The platform and crystal details are best suited for occasions where you want to make a statement, but they are built for durability.
How do I clean the black crystal upper?
Gently wipe the crystals with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or chemicals, as they can damage the crystals and their finish.
What is the best way to adjust the buckle strap for comfort?
Adjust the strap so that your foot feels secure within the shoe without being overly tight. The strap should prevent your foot from sliding forward or backward during movement.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet weather. Moisture can affect the crystal embellishments and potentially damage the shoe materials.
Do the platform soles make the shoes heavy?
The platform sole adds some weight compared to a flat shoe, but they are designed to be balanced. Most wearers find the height and style benefits outweigh the added weight once accustomed to them.
What occasions are these shoes best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for parties, evenings out, concerts, or any event where you want to showcase a bold fashion statement. They can also elevate smart-casual outfits.
Troubleshooting
Buckle strap is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buckle is aligned correctly with the corresponding hole. If stiff, try gently wiggling it. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions.
Discomfort due to the platform sole.
Allow a break-in period of a few wears to let the shoes mold to your feet. Wear with appropriate socks or hosiery. Ensure the buckle strap is adjusted for a secure, yet not too tight, fit.
Loss of sparkle on crystal embellishments.
Ensure you are cleaning the crystals with a soft cloth only. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or harsh cleaning agents. For minor scuffs on crystals, a very gentle polish with a microfiber cloth may help restore shine.
