FAQs
Are these sandals comfortable for all-day wear?
While the block heel offers more stability than a stiletto, the 10cm heel height may still lead to foot fatigue during extended periods of standing or walking. They are generally best suited for events lasting a few hours.
What size should I order if I'm usually between sizes?
The Ravel Farran sandals are designed to a standard UK Size 7 for this variant. If you are typically between sizes or unsure, it's often recommended to consult Ravel's specific sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.
How do I clean the gold croc patent material?
Gently wipe the gold croc patent upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish. For specific care product recommendations, check Ravel's official care instructions if available.
Are these sandals suitable for wider feet?
These sandals are made with a standard width. If you typically require a wide-fit shoe, they may feel snug. It's advisable to try them on to assess the fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these sandals in heavy rain or very wet conditions. While the patent finish offers some protection, prolonged exposure to moisture can affect the materials and overall structure of the sandal.
Does the block heel provide good stability?
Yes, the 10cm platform block heel is designed to provide significantly more stability compared to a thinner stiletto heel. This design helps distribute weight more evenly, making them easier to walk in than traditional high heels.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to find the most comfortable and secure fit. Ensure it's not cutting off circulation but tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding.
Feet slipping forward in the sandal.
Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened. Consider using clear gel inserts or forefoot cushions to provide extra grip and prevent your foot from sliding forward, especially with the crossover toe strap design.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Due to the 10cm heel, prolonged wear can lead to foot fatigue. Take breaks when possible, and consider using cushioned insoles. If discomfort persists, these sandals might be best for shorter events.
Scuffs or marks on the heel/upper.
For light scuffs on the patent upper, gently rub with a soft, dry cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a very small amount of patent leather cleaner (if suitable for 'other materials') on a clean cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. For the heel, try a pencil eraser on rubbery scuffs.
Sandal feels unstable.
While it has a block heel for stability, ensure the ankle strap is properly tightened. Check that you are standing and walking with balanced posture. If you are unaccustomed to 10cm heels, practice walking in them before an event.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your Farran sandals:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the gold croc patent upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the patent finish. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the sole.
- Protecting the Heel: Be mindful of scuffing the 10cm block heel. Avoid walking on rough surfaces when possible.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent material degradation. Use the original dust bag or a soft cloth bag to protect them from dust and scratches.
- Avoid Moisture: While the upper is patent, excessive moisture can affect the overall structure and materials. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
