FAQs

What is the heel height and platform height?

The Alyssa Wedge Espadrille Sandals feature a 10cm platform wedge heel.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The design has a classic fit. While the ankle strap offers adjustability, the toe box width may not be suitable for very wide feet.

How should I clean the grey espadrille material?

Gently wipe the upper with a slightly damp cloth. For the espadrille sole, avoid soaking; allow it to air dry if it gets wet.

Can I wear these for a full day of walking?

While designed for comfort, the 10cm heel height means they are best suited for occasions where you will be seated or walking shorter distances. Extended wear may cause fatigue.

What kind of outfits do these sandals go well with?

They are very versatile and pair well with summer dresses, skirts, shorts, and tailored trousers. They can be dressed up or down.

What is the primary material of the sole?

The sole features an espadrille wedge, typically made from braided jute rope, combined with a durable base.

Do these sandals come in other colors or sizes?

Yes, the Alyssa style is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listings for other options.

Troubleshooting

Ankle straps feel too loose or too tight.

Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to find a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure the strap lies flat against the ankle.

Initial discomfort after wearing.

This is common with high heels. Wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Consider using cushioned inserts if needed, though this may affect fit.

Espadrille sole appears worn or frayed.

Minor fraying is natural with espadrille material. For significant wear, consult a cobbler specializing in shoe repair. Avoid prolonged exposure to water which can worsen fraying.

Shoes feel slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If the issue persists, consider adding a thin rubber sole protector at a shoe repair shop.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
