FAQs
What is the heel height of the Alaïa Le Cour 90 pumps?
The 'Le Cour 90' indicates a heel height of approximately 90mm (around 3.5 inches), which is characteristic of a stiletto heel.
How should I clean the transparent PU details?
Clean the transparent PU details gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can cloud or damage the material.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Due to the stiletto heel and delicate materials, these pumps are best suited for special occasions and formal events rather than continuous daily wear. The height and style require confident wear and mindful movement.
What does 'Blanc Optique' refer to?
'Blanc Optique' is the designer's specific name for the shade of white, indicating a bright, pure white hue for the patent leather.
Can the heart patch be removed?
The heart patch is an integral design feature of the shoe and is not designed to be removed. Attempting to remove it would likely damage the shoe.
What materials are the sole and lining made of?
The lining and sole are made of leather. The sole also incorporates a rubber insert for added durability and traction.
Do these shoes come with a dust bag and shoe box?
Yes, these Alaïa pumps come complete with a shoe box and a dust bag for protection and storage.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the strap is aligned correctly and try a slight jiggle while fastening. If the buckle is stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant (use sparingly) might help, or consult a professional shoe repair service.
Patent leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Gently clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, use a specific patent leather cleaner or a small amount of appropriate shoe polish designed for patent leather. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth; for deeper scuffs, professional repair may be needed.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after a short period.
Ensure the correct size has been selected. For initial wear, try wearing them for short periods indoors to break them in. Consider using heel grips or insoles for added comfort if needed. Ensure the buckle strap is adjusted correctly for optimal support.
Sole feels slippery.
The rubber insert on the sole is designed for grip. If it still feels slippery, especially on smooth indoor surfaces, you can have a cobbler add a thin layer of protective sole material or apply grip enhancers designed for shoe soles.
