FAQs

Are these sandals comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the combination of the chunky 5cm platform sole, stable 10cm block heel, and cushioned insole is specifically designed to provide comfort and stability for extended periods at formal events and occasions.

What material are the sandals made from?

The sandals feature a smooth faux leather upper, offering an elegant look and ease of maintenance.

How should I clean my white Maddie sandals?

For general cleaning, gently wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a diluted mild soap solution can be used, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.

Can I wear these with casual outfits?

While primarily designed for formal occasions and events due to their elegant style and heel height, they can be dressed down slightly with chic wide-leg trousers or longer dresses for smart-casual gatherings.

How do I ensure the best fit with the ankle strap?

The adjustable ankle strap with buckle fastening allows you to customize the fit. Ensure it's secure enough to prevent slipping but not so tight that it causes discomfort or leaves marks on your skin.

What is the exact heel and platform height?

These sandals feature a chunky 5cm platform sole and a substantial 10cm block heel, providing significant elevation with enhanced stability.

Are these sandals suitable for outdoor events like garden parties or races?

Yes, the stable block heel is generally more suitable for various surfaces, including grass or uneven ground, compared to stilettos, making them a good choice for outdoor formal events where a more secure footing is desired.

Troubleshooting

Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.

The ankle strap is adjustable via a buckle fastening. Experiment with different holes until you find a fit that is secure and comfortable, holding your foot in place without pinching or allowing excessive movement.

Foot slipping forward inside the sandal.

Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened. If slipping persists, consider using a thin, non-slip insole or a ball-of-foot cushion to improve grip and comfort, especially in warmer weather when feet may swell slightly.

Faux leather upper has a scuff or mark.

For light scuffs or dirt, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a very mild soap solution on a cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Experiencing discomfort after extended wear.

While the sandals have a cushioned insole and stable block heel designed for comfort, prolonged wear in any high heel can cause fatigue. Ensure the ankle strap is correctly adjusted. Taking short breaks or stretching your feet when possible can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & CareInstructions for your Oasis Maddie Platform High Block Heeled Sandals.### Setup & First Use1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove the sandals from their packaging and inspect them for any transport damage.2. Adjust Ankle Strap: Before wearing, try on the sandals and adjust the ankle strap. Use the buckle fastening to achieve a fit that is secure enough to hold your foot comfortably without slipping, but not so tight that it pinches or restricts circulation. There should be enough room for two fingers to slide underneath the strap.### CompatibilityThe Maddie sandals are designed for formal and special occasions. - Attire: They pair exceptionally well with midi dresses, maxi dresses, and wide-leg trousers to create a balanced and elegant silhouette. Their polished look also complements cocktail dresses and formal jumpsuits. - Events: Ideal for summer weddings, races, graduations, gala dinners, and other events that require sophisticated footwear. The block heel offers better stability on varied surfaces (like grass) compared to traditional stilettos. - Pedicures: The open-toe design is perfect for showcasing a freshly done pedicure, adding to your overall elegant look.### Care & MaintenanceTo ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your faux leather sandals, follow these care instructions:1. Cleaning the Faux Leather: Gently wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt after each use. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, apply with a soft cloth, and then wipe clean with a separate clean, damp cloth. Do not soak the sandals.2. Drying: Always allow the sandals to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the material.3. Storage: When not in use, store your sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and scuffs. To help maintain their shape, you can gently stuff the toe area with tissue paper.4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or polishing agents, as these can damage the faux leather finish.5. Heel and Platform Care: Periodically check the heels and platforms for any wear and tear. If scuffing occurs, it can often be gently buffed out with a soft cloth.
