FAQs
Are these heels comfortable for walking long distances?
No, with a 110mm stiletto heel, these are designed primarily for formal events where you will be standing or walking moderately, rather than for daily use or long-distance walking.
What is the best way to clean the crystal mesh?
Use a very soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid using liquid cleaners as they may cause the crystal adhesive to weaken or cloud the mesh.
Does the shoe run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but keep in mind that the pointed-toe shape can feel more snug than rounded-toe alternatives.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended. Both the sheer mesh and the crystal adhesive can be compromised by moisture and rain.
Is the sole leather or synthetic?
The interior sock lining is made of sheep leather for comfort, while the outer sole is designed for durability appropriate for formal wear.
What happens if a crystal falls off?
While the shoes are crafted for durability, individual crystals can occasionally be lost. A professional cobbler may be able to replace missing stones if you have spares.
Troubleshooting
Crystal becomes loose
Take the shoes to a professional cobbler or footwear specialist who has experience with delicate embellished evening wear.
Heel tip wears down
Heel tips are sacrificial components; replace them at a shoe repair shop periodically to prevent damage to the stiletto heel structure.
Minor snag on mesh
Do not pull at the thread. Carefully trim any loose fiber with small, sharp embroidery scissors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Care Instructions: To maintain the brilliance of the crystals, gently wipe the mesh with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the mesh in water.
Storage: Store in a dust bag in a cool, dry place to prevent the crystal embellishments from snagging on other items in your closet.
Compatibility: These shoes are best suited for formal occasions. They complement silk, satin, and tailored wool fabrics exceptionally well.
Preparation: Given the high heel height, practice walking on carpeted surfaces indoors before your event to ensure you are comfortable with the balance and pitch of the shoe.
