FAQs
What material are these sandals made of?
These sandals are made of patent leather with a leather sole.
How do I clean the patent leather finish?
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Is the elasticated back strap adjustable?
The back strap is elasticated for a secure fit and is not adjustable by design. Its elasticity provides comfort and prevents slippage.
Are these sandals suitable for walking long distances?
Due to the high heel, these sandals are best suited for occasions where comfort for extensive walking is not the primary concern. They are designed more for style and shorter durations.
What size should I order?
This guide refers to a UK size 8.5. Please consult a standard shoe size chart for conversions if needed, and consider your usual fit for heels and sandals.
Can these sandals be worn in wet weather?
While the leather sole offers some durability, patent leather is not ideal for wet conditions. Water can potentially damage the finish and affect the shoe's structure. It's best to avoid wearing them in rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Elasticated strap feels too tight or too loose.
While the elastic strap is designed for a secure fit, individual comfort can vary. If too tight, gentle stretching may help over time. If too loose, this model may not be the best fit for your foot shape. Consider professional shoe alteration for minor adjustments.
Scuff marks on patent leather.
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more noticeable marks, a patent leather repair kit or specialized cleaner may be needed. Professional shoe repair services can often address deeper scuffs.
Discomfort from the high heel.
Ensure you are accustomed to wearing high heels. For extended wear, consider using cushioned insoles or gel pads specifically designed for high heels. Break them in gradually with shorter periods of wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.
- Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the patent finish from scratches and excessive light.
- Protection: For extended wear or to maintain the luster, consider using a patent leather conditioner specifically designed for this material. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can cause the patent coating to crack or discolor.
