FAQs

What material are these shoes made from?

These shoes are crafted from charming faux suede, offering a sophisticated and ethical material choice.

What is the height of the block heel?

The comfortable block heel measures between 5 and 6.5cm, providing both style and stability.

Are these shoes suitable for dancing or long periods of standing?

Yes, the stable block heel and secure slingback strap are designed for comfort and ease of wear, making them suitable for nights out, dancing, and extended periods on your feet. Individual comfort may vary based on foot shape and activity.

How should I clean the bow detail?

The bow detail is an integral part of the faux suede upper. Clean it gently using the same methods recommended for the rest of the shoe: spot cleaning with a damp cloth or a specific faux suede cleaner, followed by brushing to restore the nap.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the faux suede is durable, it is generally recommended to avoid excessive exposure to water or heavy rain to best preserve the material's appearance and longevity. Use in dry conditions is preferable.

Are these shoes true to size?

These shoes are designed to fit standard adult UK size 4. We recommend selecting your usual size for optimal comfort and fit.

Troubleshooting

Slingback strap keeps slipping off my heel.

Ensure the strap is adjusted to the tightest comfortable setting. If it's still slipping, consider using a small silicone heel grip or cushion specifically designed for slingback straps, placed on the inside of the strap for added friction.

Faux suede looks dull or has flattened spots.

Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush (like a clean toothbrush or a dedicated suede brush). Brush in one direction to lift the nap and restore the material's texture. For persistent dullness, consider a faux suede refreshing spray.

Shoes feel a bit tight on the sides.

Allow for a brief break-in period; faux suede can sometimes stretch slightly with wear. For persistent tightness, a shoe stretcher designed for synthetic materials may be used carefully, or consider this for future sizing decisions.

I have a scuff mark on the faux suede.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a clean pencil eraser. For deeper scuffs, follow the spot cleaning instructions with a damp cloth or a specialized faux suede cleaner, being careful not to rub too hard.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable Wear: Block heel design promotes stability and ease for longer periods.
  • Versatile Styling: Easily pairs with various outfits, from jeans to dresses, for multiple occasions.
  • Elegant Design: Bow detail and slingback add a chic and feminine touch to any look.
  • Secure Fit: Slingback strap helps keep the shoe in place, reducing slippage.
  • Faux Suede Appeal: Offers a stylish and sophisticated aesthetic.

Cons

  • Material Care: Faux suede may require specific cleaning methods to maintain its appearance.
  • Weather Sensitivity: Not ideally suited for wet conditions, which could affect the material's integrity.
  • Heel Height Preference: The 5-6.5cm heel might not suit all preferences; some may desire a higher or lower heel.
  • Limited Adjustability: While secure, the slingback strap might offer limited fine-tuning for certain foot widths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack Carefully: Remove the shoes from their packaging, taking care not to damage the faux suede or bow detail.
  2. Try On: Slip your foot into the shoe. Ensure the slingback strap sits comfortably and securely around your heel.
  3. Adjust for Fit: If the slingback strap has an adjustable buckle, fasten it to achieve a snug fit that prevents slipping but does not feel overly tight.
  4. Walk Test: Take a few steps on a clean, dry surface to confirm comfort and stability before extended wear.

Compatibility

  • Apparel: The versatile neutral hue (black) makes these shoes compatible with almost any color palette. They pair beautifully with:
  • Dresses: Mini, midi, or maxi dresses for a sophisticated or playful look.
  • Skirts: Pencil, A-line, or flowy skirts to enhance feminine elegance.
  • Trousers: Tailored pants or fashionable jeans for a smart-casual or trendy ensemble.
  • Occasions: Ideal for a broad spectrum of events including:
  • Nights out and cocktail parties
  • Dinner dates and social gatherings
  • Semi-formal events and celebrations
  • Work functions where a stylish and comfortable heel is appropriate.

Care

Caring for your faux suede shoes will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or dirt, gently blot the affected area with a clean, soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively, as this can damage the faux suede nap.
  2. Faux Suede Specific Cleaner: For tougher stains, use a cleaning product specifically formulated for faux suede or synthetic fabrics. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first to ensure no discoloration.
  3. Brush the Nap: After cleaning and drying, use a soft-bristled brush (like a dedicated suede brush or a clean toothbrush) to gently brush the faux suede nap in one direction. This helps restore its original texture and look.
  4. Air Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the material to stiffen or crack.
  5. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag or box can protect them from dust and accidental damage.
  6. Avoid Water: While durable, try to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water, as excessive moisture can affect the material's appearance and lifespan.
