FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but if you have wider feet, consider the nature of the leather straps which will eventually mold to your foot.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these in the rain as prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and the structure of the heel.
How do I clean scuffs off the beige leather?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft cloth with a mild leather conditioner to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Does the block heel make them heavy?
While the block heel provides more material than a stiletto, it is designed to be lightweight enough for comfortable all-day wear.
Are these suitable for formal weddings?
Absolutely, the elegant strappy design makes them an appropriate choice for weddings, cocktail parties, and other formal gatherings.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff upon initial wear.
This is normal for high-quality leather; wear the sandals for short periods indoors with socks to help stretch the material naturally.
The slingback strap is slipping off.
Ensure the strap is positioned correctly at the base of the heel; if it continues to slip, you may need a small adhesive silicone heel grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these sandals are made of genuine leather, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and longevity. Before wearing them for the first time, consider applying a leather-safe protector spray to guard against minor scuffs and spills. Since these are available in various sizes (UK 3.5 to 7.5), ensure you verify your fit, as leather does not stretch significantly but will relax. To clean, wipe down with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or tissue paper stuffing to maintain the shape of the straps and the heel counter.
