FAQs
What is the heel height of these shoes?
These Dove Kitten Heel Court Shoes feature a comfortable mid-height kitten heel, typically measuring between 5 and 6.5cm.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the mid-height kitten heel is specifically designed to provide enhanced comfort, making them suitable for all-day wear in most professional and social settings.
How should I clean the faux leather material?
Wipe the shoes gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a cloth with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
Will the pointed toe be comfortable for wider feet?
The pointed toe design may feel snug on wider feet. While the material may soften slightly with wear, we recommend trying them on to assess the fit for your specific foot shape. Consider sizing up if you are often between sizes or have wider feet.
What type of outfits do these shoes best complement?
These versatile court shoes pair beautifully with tailored trousers and a blouse for office wear, midi dresses or pencil skirts for elegant social occasions, and can even elevate smart casual outfits.
Are these shoes true to UK sizing?
Dorothy Perkins shoes are generally designed to be true to UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size, or consulting a detailed size chart if available, to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable, particularly around the pointed toe.
Faux leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for brief periods around the house. For persistent discomfort, consider thin socks, or use a shoe stretcher designed for the toe area if necessary. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
Scuffs or marks appear on the faux leather surface.
Gently wipe minor scuffs with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a cloth with a small amount of mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and dry immediately. Specialized faux leather cleaners can also be effective; always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel slippery on smooth indoor surfaces.
New shoe soles can sometimes lack grip. Lightly scuff the bottom of the soles with fine-grit sandpaper to create some texture. Alternatively, purchase adhesive anti-slip pads designed for shoe soles from a shoe care store.
Faux leather material appears dull or loses its sheen.
After cleaning, you can use a faux leather conditioner or polish specifically designed to restore shine and moisturize the material. Apply sparingly with a soft cloth and buff gently. Avoid silicone-based products as they can dry out the material over time.

Care & Maintenance
To ensure your faux leather court shoes maintain their elegant appearance and extend their lifespan, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: For everyday dirt or minor scuffs, gently wipe the faux leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a very mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) on the cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the faux leather material.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause fading or material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape, especially for the pointed toe.
- Heel Tips: Regularly check the heel tips for wear. Worn-down heel tips can affect stability and damage the heel itself. Replace them as needed by a cobbler.
