FAQs

What is the heel height of these sandals?

The heel height is approximately 9cm, or about 3.5 inches.

Are these shoes true to size?

These sandals generally follow standard UK sizing. Because of the cage design, individuals with wider feet may prefer to try a half-size up.

Can I wear these for long periods?

While designed for comfort, they are high-fashion stilettos. They are best suited for events where there is a balance of standing and sitting.

How do I protect the leather sole?

Many owners choose to have a professional cobbler apply a thin rubber 'topy' or sole protector to the bottom of the leather sole to increase traction and longevity.

What material are the studs made of?

The studs are finished in a silver-tone metallic coating that is durable and provides the signature Rockstud appearance.

How should I store them when not in use?

Always store the shoes in individual dust bags to prevent the studs from scratching the leather of the other shoe.

Troubleshooting

Buckle feels tight or difficult to fasten

Ensure the leather strap is not twisted and that the buckle tongue is properly aligned with the punched hole before tightening.

Leather feels stiff during the first wear

This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear the shoes for short periods indoors with socks to help the material soften and mold to your foot shape.

Heel tip wearing down

As with any stiletto, the heel tip is a consumable part. Take the shoes to a professional cobbler to have the tip replaced when the base begins to show significant wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, recognizable design aesthetic
  • High-quality leather materials for longevity
  • Secure fit provided by dual ankle straps
  • Versatile for formal and evening occasions

Cons

  • High heel height may not be suitable for all-day walking
  • Leather requires initial break-in time
  • Requires careful storage to prevent hardware scuffs

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your sandals remain in pristine condition, proper care is essential. When putting the shoes on, always loosen the dual buckle straps fully to avoid stretching the leather or damaging the closure mechanism.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a cloth rather than the shoe directly.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place inside a dust bag. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or humid environments to prevent material discoloration.
  • Hardware: Periodically check the silver-tone studs for any debris and polish with a soft cloth to maintain their luster.
  • Compatibility: These heels are standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to see how the leather cage structure accommodates your specific foot width.
