FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are manufactured according to standard UK adult sizing conventions.
Can I wear these for an outdoor wedding?
The medium stiletto is better suited for stable flooring than soft grass or sand, where the heel might sink.
What kind of outfit looks best with these brown heels?
They pair beautifully with autumnal tones, neutrals, denim, or floral prints.
How do I store the Gracie heels?
Keep them in a shoe bag or box to protect the mesh fabric from snags and dust accumulation.
Does the mesh stretch over time?
Like most footwear, they may soften with wear, but the structure is designed to hold its shape.
Troubleshooting
Slingback strap feels loose while walking
Consider using clear silicone heel grips or gel insoles to shift your foot position slightly forward for a more secure fit.
Accumulated dust in the mesh weave
Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush the mesh in a circular motion, then shake the shoe out to dislodge loose debris.
Heel tips clicking loudly on hard floors
Apply rubber heel covers or have a cobbler install non-slip, quiet rubber tips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gracie heels last, proper care is essential. Since the design incorporates mesh, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as these materials are more difficult to clean than smooth leather or synthetic surfaces. For general cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove any dust or particles caught in the woven texture. If the material becomes slightly soiled, a gently damp, lint-free cloth is usually sufficient for spot cleaning. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential fading of the brown pigment. If you find the heel tip wears down over time due to frequent walking on concrete, a cobbler can easily replace the heel caps to extend the life of your footwear.
