FAQs
Are these sandals comfortable for long periods?
While the low platform provides more comfort than a traditional stiletto, these are still high heels. They are designed for special occasions rather than all-day wear. We recommend wearing them for shorter periods initially to get accustomed to the height.
How do I clean the diamante straps?
Gently brush the diamante embellishments with a soft, dry brush (like a soft toothbrush) to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture directly on the diamantes to preserve their sparkle.
What material are these sandals made from?
The sandals are constructed from high-quality faux leather for the main body and straps, with diamante embellishments.
Are these suitable for outdoor weddings?
Yes, they are suitable, but exercise caution on uneven grass, gravel, or soft ground, as high heels can sink or be difficult to walk in. A block heel offers more stability than a stiletto in such conditions.
Do these sandals run true to size?
Generally, Coast footwear aims for true-to-size fit. However, for the most accurate fit, we recommend checking the specific brand's size guide and considering your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, it is often advisable to size up for open-toe styles.
Can I replace the heel tips if they wear down?
Yes, like most block heels, the heel tips can be replaced by a professional cobbler if they wear down. Regularly inspect them for wear and tear to maintain the shoe's stability and appearance.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or too loose.
While these straps are generally fixed, ensure the ankle strap is adjusted correctly. For minor fit issues, consider foot pads for tightness or gel inserts for looseness to help customize the fit. If the main straps are significantly uncomfortable, a professional cobbler might offer limited solutions, but it's best to ensure the initial fit is correct.
Diamantes appear dull or have fallen off.
For dullness, gently clean the diamantes with a soft, dry brush to remove any residue. If diamantes have fallen off, unfortunately, individual replacement is often challenging. Handle the sandals with care to prevent this. For significant loss, you may need to consult the manufacturer or a specialized repair service.
Slipping while walking on smooth surfaces.
The sole may lack sufficient grip for very smooth floors. Consider adding adhesive non-slip pads to the sole of the shoe. These are inexpensive and can significantly improve traction.
Heels or platforms get scuffed easily.
This is common with high heels. Try to walk carefully, especially on rough terrains. For minor scuffs on faux leather, a matching shoe polish or paint pen might help conceal them. For deeper damage, a professional shoe repair service is recommended.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the beauty and longevity of your sandals:
- Cleaning Faux Leather: Wipe the faux leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and let air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Cleaning Diamantes: Gently brush the diamante embellishments with a soft, dry brush (like a soft toothbrush) to remove dust or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture directly on the diamantes, as this can dull their sparkle or loosen their setting.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid stacking heavy items on top, which could distort their shape or damage the straps.
- Avoiding Damage: Be mindful when wearing them on rough surfaces to prevent scuffs to the heel or platform. Handle the straps with care to protect the diamante embellishments.
