FAQs

What are the primary materials used in these sandals?

The upper is made from a blend of 32% Silk and 68% Viscose, while the sole is 100% Calfskin leather. They also feature black velvet detailing.

How high is the stiletto heel?

The stiletto heel measures 10.5 cm.

Is the waist strap adjustable?

The description mentions a waist strap for a secure fit, implying it fastens to secure the shoe, but adjustability details are not specified. It is designed to hold the shoe in place.

What kind of occasions are these heels best suited for?

These heels are designed for evening wear and dressy occasions, such as parties, formal events, and galas.

How should I clean the silk and viscose upper?

Spot clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking. Professional dry cleaning is recommended for thorough cleaning.

Can I wear these for extended periods of standing?

Due to the 10.5 cm stiletto heel, they are best suited for moderate wear. For extended standing, consider the heel height and stability on your intended surface.

What does the glossy tone-on-tone finish refer to?

This refers to a subtle sheen on the main material that matches the primary black color, creating a sophisticated and understated luxurious appearance.

Troubleshooting

Heel feels unstable on certain surfaces.

Be cautious when walking on uneven terrain like cobblestones or gravel. Ensure the heel is placed firmly on stable ground before applying weight. Consider professional heel protectors for added grip.

Velvet detailing appears flattened or matted.

Use a soft brush (like a suede brush) to gently lift the nap of the velvet. Brush in the direction of the pile.

Material feels stiff or uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. For initial wear, try them on indoors on a clean surface to allow them to mold slightly to your feet. Wear for short periods initially.
