FAQs
Are the Maison Margiela Tabi Cut-Out Shoes comfortable for everyday wear?
While crafted with quality materials for comfort, the unique Tabi toe design requires an adjustment period. They are best suited for occasions where comfort is balanced with making a style statement, rather than constant, strenuous activity.
How do I clean the deep purple velvet?
Gently brush the velvet with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized velvet cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing first in an inconspicuous area. Avoid machine washing or excessive moisture.
What is the Tabi toe design?
The Tabi toe is inspired by traditional Japanese footwear and features a distinctive split between the big toe and the other toes, creating a unique silhouette.
What size should I order?
This model is available in UK size 7. Please refer to standard sizing charts for Maison Margiela footwear, but note that the unique design may affect the feel compared to traditional shoes.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear velvet shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can damage the material. The leather components should also be protected from prolonged exposure to water.
What are the shoes made of?
The shoes are made from natural leather for the outer layer, inner lining, and sole, with a velvet exterior finish.
What is the heel height?
These shoes feature a stable, low heel, providing a comfortable lift without compromising stability.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort with the Tabi toe
Wear the shoes for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time as your foot adjusts. Ensure correct sizing.
Velvet surface appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the velvet with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a professional cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics.
Leather creasing or drying
Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly to the leather components to keep them supple and prevent cracking.
Scuff marks on the sole or heel
Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a shoe polish matching the leather color. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.

Care:
- Velvet Cleaning: Use a soft brush to gently remove dust and debris. For stains, use a specialized velvet cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid soaking the material.
- Leather Care: Condition the leather parts regularly with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent drying. Protect the leather sole from excessive moisture.
