Product Information

Full details

These Gucci Lady Horsebit leather platform sandals are designed for the fashion-conscious adult female seeking a blend of luxury and statement style. The key benefit is the elevated silhouette and iconic Horsebit detail, offering a sophisticated yet bold look. A potential caveat is the 115mm heel height, which requires comfort with elevated footwear. This product features smooth calf leather, a signature metal Horsebit detail, an adjustable buckle-fastening ankle strap, and a substantial block heel with a platform for added height and comfort.

FAQs

What is the heel height and platform height?

The heel height is 115mm (approximately 4.5 inches), with a 30mm (approximately 1.2 inches) platform. The effective heel height is approximately 85mm.

What material are the sandals made of?

The upper, lining, and insole are made of 100% calf leather. The sole is also leather.

How should I clean these sandals?

Clean the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Are these sandals suitable for everyday wear?

Due to the heel height and delicate materials, these sandals are best suited for special occasions or dressier events rather than daily, intensive wear.

What does 'Nero' mean for the designer color name?

'Nero' is the Italian word for black, indicating the primary color of the sandals.

What is included with the purchase?

The purchase includes the shoe box and dust bags for storage and protection.

How do I adjust the ankle strap?

The ankle strap features a metal buckle closure that can be adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Buckle is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle. If stiff, gently work the buckle back and forth. If persistent, consult a shoe repair specialist.

Leather shows scuff marks.

For minor scuffs, try gently buffing with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for black leather. Consult a professional shoe repairer for significant damage.

Ankle strap feels uncomfortable.

Adjust the strap for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the buckle prong is in the correct hole. If discomfort persists, the fit might not be optimal for your foot shape.

Slippery feel on the sole.

New leather soles can be slippery. Consider having a thin rubber sole protector applied by a cobbler to improve traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure the buckle on the ankle strap is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before wearing.

Compatibility:

These sandals are best suited for dressier occasions. They pair well with dresses, skirts, tailored pants, and upscale casual wear. Avoid wearing them in wet conditions or for activities that could lead to scuffs or damage to the leather.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper gently with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray suitable for calfskin to guard against moisture and stains. Reapply periodically.
  • Storage: Store the sandals in the provided dust bags to protect them from dust and scratches. Keep them in their original shoe box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Sole Care: The leather sole is susceptible to wear. It is advisable to have a protective sole added by a cobbler if you plan to wear them frequently, especially on abrasive surfaces.
