FAQs
What material is the upper of the blue Farran sandal made from?
The upper of the blue Ravel Farran sandal is made from denim, offering a unique and fashionable texture.
How high is the heel on these sandals?
The Ravel Farran sandals feature a substantial 10cm platform block heel.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the ankle strap is fully adjustable with a buckle fastening, allowing for a personalized and secure fit.
Are these sandals comfortable for extended wear?
While the block heel offers more stability than a stiletto, the 10cm height might still cause discomfort during very long periods of wear. We recommend a break-in period and using comfort inserts if needed.
How should I clean my Ravel Farran sandals?
For the denim upper, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. The leather lining/sock can be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and do not immerse in water.
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
These sandals are designed with a standard width. If you typically require a wider fit, they might not provide the most comfortable experience.
What type of occasions are these sandals best for?
The Ravel Farran sandals are ideal for evening events, parties, special occasions, and date nights where a stylish, elevated look is desired.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the buckle to a different hole on the strap. Ensure it's snug enough to hold the sandal securely but not so tight that it restricts blood flow or causes discomfort.
Foot slides forward in the sandal.
Consider using ball-of-foot cushions or gel pads, which can help provide extra grip and prevent your foot from slipping forward, especially with the 10cm heel. Ensure the ankle strap is appropriately tightened.
Discomfort at the heel or ball of the foot.
High heels can put pressure on these areas. Try breaking in the sandals with shorter wear times. Gel inserts or silicone pads designed for high heels can provide additional cushioning and support.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Info needed: [If the sole is smooth, gently scuffing the bottom with sandpaper or applying specialized non-slip adhesive pads can improve traction. Always test in a small, inconspicuous area first].
Denim upper looks dull or has a stain.
For dullness, gently brush with a soft, dry brush. For stains, spot clean immediately with a clean, damp cloth and a very mild soap, dabbing rather than rubbing. Air dry completely.

Care & Maintenance
Maintaining your Ravel Farran sandals will help preserve their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
- Upper (Blue Denim):
- Spot Cleaning: For light marks on the denim, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth and mild soap (like a diluted detergent for delicates). Do not rub vigorously to avoid damaging the fabric or color.
- Air Dry: Allow the sandals to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong cleaning agents, as these can damage the denim.
- Lining / Sock (Other Materials / Leather):
- For the leather portions, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher spots, following product instructions.
- Ensure the inside is dry before storing.
- Sole (Other Materials):
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
- Info needed: [Specific recommendations for sole grip improvement if the material proves slippery, e.g., 'scuff the sole on a rough surface' or 'apply non-slip pads'].
- General Care:
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe bags can help protect them from dust and scratches.
- Avoid Water Immersion: Do not submerge the sandals in water.
- Rotate Wear: Allow sandals to air out between wears, especially if worn frequently, to maintain freshness and shape.
