FAQs
Is the 10cm heel height difficult to walk in?
The 10cm heel is a platform block heel, which is designed to provide more stability and a gentler foot arch angle compared to a stiletto of similar height. Most users find platform block heels more manageable for walking, but individual comfort levels and experience with heels vary.
What materials are the Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals made from?
The upper is made from 'Other Materials' with a black croc patent finish. The linings and sock contain a blend of 'Other Materials' and 'Leather', and the sole is also constructed from 'Other Materials'.
How do I determine the correct size?
These sandals are designed with a standard width. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for a comfortable fit. This particular variant is available in UK 8.
Can I wear these sandals in rainy or wet weather?
It is best to avoid wearing these sandals in heavy rain or wet conditions. The materials, particularly the 'Other Materials' used for the upper and sole, are not designed for prolonged water exposure and could be damaged or discolored.
How should I care for the black croc patent upper?
To keep the black croc patent upper looking its best, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove any dirt or dust. For any specific cleaning needs, use a product designed for patent or synthetic materials, following the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What type of outfits and occasions are these sandals suitable for?
The Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals are perfect for evening events, formal gatherings, parties, and special occasions where a sophisticated and stylish touch is desired. They pair beautifully with elegant dresses, skirts, tailored jumpsuits, and chic separates.
Are there other color options or sizes available for the Farran style?
Yes, the Ravel Farran style is generally available in several colors and sizes beyond this specific Pink variant, to suit various preferences and outfits. You may find other variants in colors like Brown, Gold, or Blue.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
The ankle strap is adjustable via the buckle. Experiment with different holes until you find a comfortable and secure fit that allows for easy movement without excessive rubbing or looseness.
Foot slides forward in the sandal, causing discomfort or making walking difficult.
Ensure the ankle strap is fastened securely, but not too tightly. You can also consider using discreet ball-of-foot cushions or non-slip inserts, which can provide extra grip and prevent forward slippage.
Discomfort or fatigue after extended periods of wear.
High heels, even platform styles, can cause some fatigue over time. Take regular breaks if possible. Gel inserts for the ball of the foot can offer additional cushioning, and practicing walking in them can build endurance. Ensure the fit is not too tight or too loose.
Scuffs or marks appear on the black croc patent upper.
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks or scuffs, a patent leather cleaner or a mild cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be used carefully. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Sandal loses its original shape or creases during storage.
Store sandals properly in a shoe bag or their original box. To help maintain their original form and prevent creasing, stuff the toe and strap areas lightly with acid-free tissue paper or use shoe trees.
Pros and Cons

- Elegant and versatile design suitable for various dressy occasions and outfits.
- Adjustable ankle strap allows for a personalized and secure fit, reducing slipping.
- Contemporary pink color with a sophisticated black croc patent texture offers a unique look.
- The platform design helps to reduce the effective pitch of the heel, potentially increasing comfort compared to other high heels.
Cons
- The 10cm heel height may be challenging for those new to high heels or for prolonged periods of wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals involves proper wearing, understanding their best pairings, and simple care routines to maintain their striking appearance.
Setup (Wearing)
- Adjust the Ankle Strap: Unbuckle the ankle strap and position your foot comfortably into the sandal. Ensure the crossover toe strap fits snugly across your toes without pinching or causing discomfort.
- Secure the Buckle: Fasten the ankle strap using the buckle. Adjust it until it feels secure enough to prevent your foot from sliding forward or lifting out, but not so tight that it restricts circulation or creates pressure points.
- Initial Steps: Take a few steps to ensure the fit is correct and comfortable before extended wear. The standard width should accommodate most adult female feet comfortably.
Compatibility
- Apparel: These sandals are excellent for evening wear, semi-formal events, and chic casual outfits. They pair beautifully with dresses, skirts, jumpsuits, and tailored trousers. The vibrant pink and croc patent texture add a luxurious, fashion-forward touch.
- Seasonal Use: Due to their open-toe design and elegant aesthetic, they are best suited for warmer weather or indoor events.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper: For the black croc patent upper, gently wipe any dirt or marks with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a cleaner specifically formulated for patent or synthetic materials, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Leather Lining: If the leather part of the linings/sock requires cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner designed for footwear to maintain its quality and suppleness.
- Sole Care: Clean the sole with a damp cloth if needed. Avoid harsh scrubbing which could damage the material.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Consider using a shoe bag or the original packaging to protect them from dust and scuffs. Stuffing the toe area with acid-free tissue paper can help maintain the sandal's original shape.
- Avoid Water: As the upper and sole are made of 'Other Materials' and the lining includes leather, avoid prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain to prevent damage and maintain the sandal's appearance.
