FAQs
How do I clean the Perspex straps and crystal embellishments?
Gently wipe the Perspex straps and shoe body with a soft, damp cloth. For crystals, use a very lightly damp cloth or a soft, dry brush to clean around them, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Thanks to their mid-height heel (5-6.5cm) and wide fit design, these shoes offer enhanced comfort, making them suitable for events that last several hours, though prolonged all-day wear without breaks is typical for heels.
What occasions are these shoes best suited for?
They are ideal for special occasions such as weddings, formal events, sophisticated evening outings, garden parties, and any event where elegance and a touch of glamour are desired.
What does 'wide fit' mean for these shoes?
'Wide fit' indicates that the shoe provides extra width across the ball of the foot and toe box, offering more room and enhanced comfort, especially beneficial for those with broader feet.
How should I store these shoes to protect the embellishments?
Store them in their original box or a soft, breathable shoe bag in a cool, dry place. This protects the crystal embellishments and Perspex straps from dust and potential damage.
Can the sling back strap be adjusted?
Yes, the sling back strap typically features an adjustable buckle or elastic component, allowing you to customize the fit for maximum security and comfort around your heel.
Troubleshooting
Sling back strap keeps slipping off
Ensure the strap is adjusted to the tightest comfortable setting. If slippage persists, consider using a non-slip heel grip pad inside the heel area or a clear strap tape on the sling back.
Perspex straps feel stiff or uncomfortable
The Perspex material may require a short breaking-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations around the house. If discomfort continues, check if your feet swell, or consider using thin foot liners or toe caps for extra cushioning.
Crystals appear dull or a few have fallen off
Dull crystals can be gently cleaned with a soft, dry cloth or a cotton swab lightly dampened with water. To prevent further loss, avoid rubbing aggressively. For fallen crystals, contact customer service for guidance on potential repairs.
General discomfort despite wide fit
Verify you have the correct size. Even with a wide fit, an incorrect length or an exceptionally broad foot might cause issues. Adding a thin, cushioned insole can sometimes provide extra comfort, especially for the ball of the foot.
Shoes make squeaking noises
Squeaking can occur if parts of the shoe rub against each other or the floor. Try applying a small amount of baby powder or petroleum jelly to areas where materials meet, or to the sole if it's new and very smooth.

To wear, simply slide your foot into the shoe and adjust the sling back strap for a snug, secure fit around your heel. The strap typically features an adjustable buckle or elastic section to customize comfort. Ensure the strap is firm enough to prevent slippage but not so tight as to cause discomfort. These versatile court shoes are designed to complement a range of formal and semi-formal attire. They pair beautifully with midi dresses, evening gowns, tailored trousers, jumpsuits, and even smart skirts and blouses. The silver color and crystal embellishments make them suitable for occasions such as weddings, engagement parties, formal dinners, festive celebrations, and sophisticated social events. Their modern design, featuring Perspex straps, also makes them a strong choice for contemporary fashion looks. To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Brooke Crystal Sling Back Court Shoes, regularly wipe the Perspex straps and the body of the shoe with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the crystal embellishments, use a very lightly damp cloth or a soft, dry brush to gently clean around them, being careful not to dislodge any crystals. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the Perspex, crystals, or shoe material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag, to protect them from dust and potential damage to the embellishments.
