FAQs
What is the actual heel height of these sandals?
The Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals feature a substantial 10cm (approximately 3.9 inches) platform block heel.
Are these sandals comfortable for long periods of wear?
While the block heel and platform offer more stability than stilettos, the 10cm height can still lead to foot fatigue during prolonged standing or walking. They are best suited for events where sitting is also an option.
How do I choose the correct size?
These sandals are designed with a 'Standard' width. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider reviewing specific brand sizing guides or customer reviews if available. This specific variant is UK Size 5.
What kind of outfits do these sandals pair best with?
The pale gold finish and elegant design make them perfect for evening wear, cocktail dresses, formal events, and smart-casual ensembles where you want to add a sophisticated touch. Think LBDs, tailored jumpsuits, and elegant skirts.
What materials are the sandals made from?
The upper is made from 'Other Materials' with a croc patent finish. The linings and sock are a combination of 'Other Materials' and 'Leather'. The sole is also made from 'Other Materials'.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
It is generally not recommended to wear these sandals in heavy wet conditions as the 'Other Materials' upper and sole may be susceptible to water damage and impact on durability. Always avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle to a different hole for a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure it's snug enough to hold your foot but not so tight it restricts circulation.
Foot slides forward in the sandal.
Ensure the ankle strap is fastened correctly. You can also try using a ball-of-foot gel cushion to create friction and prevent forward movement.
Discomfort under the ball of the foot after wearing for a short time.
This is common with high heels. Consider adding a soft gel or foam cushion specifically designed for the ball of the foot. Also, ensure you have adequately broken in the sandals.
Scuff marks on the pale gold croc patent upper.
For light scuffs, gently rub with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a patent leather cleaner designed for synthetic materials, following the product instructions carefully.
Sandal feels unstable when walking.
Verify the ankle strap is securely fastened. Practice walking on a flat surface to get accustomed to the 10cm block heel. Ensure the heel tips are not worn down, as this can affect stability.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the 'Other Materials' upper with a croc patent finish, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild cleaner specifically designed for synthetic patent materials. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the finish.
- Lining and Sock: The 'Other Materials / Leather' lining and sock can be gently wiped with a slightly damp cloth. For leather components, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner as needed.
- Sole Care: The 'Other Materials' sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Check regularly for any embedded debris.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use shoe trees or stuff them lightly with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for synthetic materials to help repel water and stains, if recommended by the product manufacturer. > Info needed: [specific product care recommendations for 'Other Materials' upper and sole]
- Heel Tips: Regularly check the heel tips for wear. Worn-down heel tips can affect stability and should be replaced by a cobbler to prevent damage to the main heel block.
