FAQs
What is the exact heel height of these shoes?
The kitten heel measures between 5 and 6.5cm, providing a comfortable and elegant lift.
Are these shoes suitable for dancing or extended standing?
Thanks to their kitten heel and wide fit construction, these shoes offer a good balance of style and comfort, making them suitable for moderate periods of standing and light dancing. For very long periods of standing or intense dancing, shoes with even lower heels or more cushioning might be preferred.
How does the 'wide fit' feature benefit me?
The 'wide fit' construction provides extra room across the ball of the foot and toe area compared to standard width shoes. This design enhances comfort, reduces pressure points, and is ideal for those with wider feet or who prefer a more relaxed fit.
What material are the shoes made from?
These shoes are crafted from high-quality faux leather, offering a sophisticated look with practical care requirements.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
While faux leather offers some resistance to moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. It's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the material and prolong their lifespan. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
How should I choose the correct size?
These shoes are true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. Given the wide fit, you can expect extra comfort across the width.
Troubleshooting
Slingback strap keeps slipping off the heel.
Ensure the slingback strap is properly adjusted to fit snugly but comfortably around your heel. If adjustable, tighten it slightly. If the issue persists, a small strip of moleskin or a silicone heel grip adhered to the inside of the strap might provide extra friction.
Shoes feel tight around the pointed toe, despite being wide fit.
While designed for a wider foot, the pointed toe can still feel snug for some. Try wearing them around the house for short periods to allow the material to gently conform to your foot. You can also use a shoe stretcher specifically for toe boxes if needed, applying gentle pressure over time.
Scuffs or minor marks appear on the faux leather surface.
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a very small amount of faux leather cleaner or even a gentle eraser (like a white art eraser) can sometimes help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Heel tips wear down quickly.
Heel tips are subject to wear and tear. If they become excessively worn, take the shoes to a professional cobbler to have the heel tips replaced. Regular inspection can help prevent more extensive damage to the heel.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Evelyn Asymmetric Slingback Kitten Heel Court Shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the faux leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the faux leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with tissue paper to help maintain their shape, especially the pointed toe.
- Protection: Consider using a protective spray specifically designed for faux leather to help repel water and stains.
- Avoid: Prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
