FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper features a distinctive blue croc patent finish, made from 'Other Materials', providing a stylish and textured look.
How high is the heel?
The Ravel Farran Heeled Sandal features a 10cm (approximately 4 inches) platform block heel.
Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Due to the 10cm heel height, these sandals are best suited for special occasions or shorter periods of wear where comfort for prolonged standing may be a concern. For extended comfort, consider using gel inserts.
How should I clean my sandals?
Gently wipe the croc patent upper and 'Other Materials' sole with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the leather sock, use a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What kind of outfits pair best with these sandals?
These sandals are perfect for dressy occasions, complementing cocktail dresses, evening skirts, tailored trousers, and elegant jumpsuits. The blue color adds a sophisticated pop.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the ankle strap features an adjustable buckle fastening, allowing for a customized and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap. Ensure it's snug enough to secure your foot but loose enough to prevent pinching or discomfort during movement.
Sandal feels uncomfortable after short wear.
High heels can take getting used to. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially. Gel inserts for the ball of your foot can also provide extra cushioning and comfort.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
The 'Other Materials' sole offers standard traction. If you find yourself slipping, consider having a shoemaker add a non-slip pad to the sole.
Scuff marks on the croc patent upper.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, clean, damp cloth. For deeper marks, a patent leather cleaner (if suitable for 'Other Materials') or professional cleaning might be necessary. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Foot slides forward in the sandal.
Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened. Foot petal cushions placed at the ball of the foot can help prevent forward slippage and provide additional comfort.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Ravel Farran Heeled Sandals:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the croc patent 'Other Materials' upper, gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the finish. For more stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Leather Sock: The leather sock lining can be wiped with a clean, dry, or very slightly damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning the Sole: The 'Other Materials' sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Consider using shoe bags to protect them from dust and scuffs. Avoid stacking heavy items on top, which could deform the shape.
- Avoid Moisture: While the material may be resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water to prevent damage.
