FAQs
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The high block heel measures between 7 and 9cm.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, these shoes feature a wide fit design specifically for enhanced comfort.
What material are the shoes made from?
The upper part of the shoes is made from faux suede.
How do I clean the faux suede material?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For stains, lightly dab with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing or excessive water.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is recommended to avoid wearing these faux suede shoes in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as excessive moisture can damage the material. Consider using a protective spray.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
While versatile, these shoes are best suited for smart casual to semi-formal daytime events, polished office looks, or chic brunch ensembles rather than very formal evening affairs.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap to one of the other holes until you find a secure yet comfortable fit. The strap should hold your foot in place without digging into your skin.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Due to the high block heel, it's natural for feet to tire. Consider taking short breaks from wearing them, or use discreet gel inserts in the ball-of-foot area for added cushioning. Ensure the wide fit is indeed suitable for your foot type.
Faux suede appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Gently brush the faux suede with a soft brush to restore its nap and remove light surface marks. For scuffs, a specialized suede eraser or a very lightly damp cloth can be used with gentle dabbing motions. Avoid harsh rubbing.
Shoes are slipping on certain surfaces.
Inspect the sole for wear. If the sole is smooth, consider adding non-slip adhesive pads to the bottom of the shoes for improved traction.

Setup & Wearing
- Adjust the Ankle Strap: Before wearing, ensure the ankle strap is adjusted to a comfortable, secure fit around your ankle. It should be snug enough to prevent slipping but not so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict circulation.

Care Instructions
The faux suede upper requires specific care to maintain its luxurious texture and appearance.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off any dry dirt or dust using a soft brush designed for suede or a dry, soft cloth. For light stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and dab the affected area; do not rub vigorously. Allow to air dry completely.
- Protection: Consider using a faux suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape and prevent creases.
- Avoid Water: Faux suede can be sensitive to excessive moisture. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions if possible.
