FAQs
What material are these pumps made of?
The upper, lining, insole, and sole are all made from leather. The exterior features a patent leather finish.
How should I clean the patent leather?
Gently wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
While made with quality leather, the 100mm heel height may be challenging for continuous all-day wear for some individuals. They are best suited for events or occasions where comfort is balanced with style.
What does 'D'Orsay' refer to in the shoe's name?
The D'Orsay style refers to the shoe's silhouette, characterized by its low-cut sides that reveal the arch of the foot.
What is included with the purchase?

Where are these pumps made?
These pumps are proudly made in Italy.
How do I adjust the fit?
The fit can be adjusted using the buckle fastening on the strap.
Troubleshooting
Patent leather scuffing
Gently buff the scuffed area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized patent leather cleaner or repair kit may be necessary.
Buckle fastening feels loose or tight
Adjust the buckle to the most comfortable hole. If the strap is too long or too short, consider consulting a cobbler for potential alterations or add-on holes.
Discomfort during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors on a soft surface to allow them to break in gradually. Using padded insoles or heel grips can also improve comfort.
Shoe losing its shape
Ensure the shoes are stored properly in their dust bags and shoe trees (if applicable) when not in use to maintain their form.
