FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?

The mid-stiletto heel and ankle strap are designed for comfort during events, though comfort levels vary by individual. It is recommended to break them in at home before a long event.

Can I clean these shoes with water?

No. Water can cause water spots and damage the texture of suede. Always use dry cleaning methods or professional suede cleaning services.

Do these pumps run true to size?

The Lydia series generally follows standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, you may want to consider trying both sizes to ensure the best fit for the pointed toe.

What kind of clothing pairs best with these?

Due to their refined d'Orsay silhouette, they pair beautifully with midi-length skirts, tailored trousers, or formal jumpsuits.

How do I secure the buckle?

Thread the strap through the buckle prong and secure it into the desired hole, ensuring the strap sits flat against your ankle.

Troubleshooting

Buckle strap feels too tight

Adjust the buckle to the furthest setting or consider using a small leather punch to add an extra hole for a customized fit.

Suede looks dull or flat

Gently rub the suede in one direction using a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft-bristled brush to fluff up the fibers.

Difficulty walking on soft surfaces

Use heel protectors or 'stiletto stoppers' when attending outdoor events like garden weddings to prevent the heel from sinking into grass.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design pairs well with both midi dresses and tailored suits
  • Secure buckle strap prevents slippage during movement
  • Balanced heel height suitable for long-duration events
  • Timeless aesthetic that works for various formal occasions

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to moisture and staining
  • Pointed toe may feel narrow for those with wider feet
  • Requires professional cleaning to maintain the suede nap

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Wallis Lydia heels remain in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap after every use. Avoid wearing these shoes in wet or muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Using shoe trees or paper stuffing helps maintain the shoe's pointed-toe shape when not in use.
  3. Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to add a layer of protection against unexpected spills.
  4. Fit: These shoes are available in standard UK sizing. If you frequently wear socks or hosiery, consider how the material thickness affects your comfort inside the shoe.
