FAQs
Can I wash these shoes in a machine?
No, because the upper is constructed from leather, machine washing will damage the material. Use damp cleaning methods instead.
What is the height of the heel?
The shoe features a mini wedge that provides approximately 6mm of lift.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the CloudBound foam offers great support, these are designed primarily as lifestyle fashion shoes rather than athletic walking shoes.
Does the open-side design affect stability?
The D'Orsay design is stable for standard walking, but ensure the size is correct to prevent the heel from slipping.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made from a durable TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) compound designed for longevity and grip.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
Wear the shoes for short periods inside the house to allow the leather to naturally conform to the shape of your feet.
Minor scuffs appearing on the leather.
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or a matching shoe polish to buff out light surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes are crafted from leather, they should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. To preserve the quality of the leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust regularly. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources which can cause the leather to crack. For best performance, ensure you choose the correct UK size, as the slip-on structure relies on a snug fit to keep the heel secure while walking.
