What is the heel height of these pumps?

How should I clean the patent leather?
Gently wipe the patent leather with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoes feature a pointed toe, which may not be ideal for individuals with wider foot shapes. A break-in period may help, but consider trying them on if possible.
What is the color name specified by the designer?
The designer's color name is 'Light Ivory'.
Can I wear these pumps for long periods?
The 65mm heel height and leather construction are designed for reasonable comfort, but prolonged wear may still cause fatigue depending on individual comfort levels and foot shape.
Do these shoes come with a dust bag?

Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buckle prong is correctly aligned with the holes. If stiff, gently flex the strap or apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the buckle mechanism (avoiding the leather itself).
Shoes feel tight on the toes.
Leather can stretch slightly over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider professional shoe stretching if the tightness is significant and persistent.
Slippery sole on smooth surfaces.
The leather sole may require a break-in period. You can opt for a professional cobbler to apply a thin rubber sole protector or roughen the sole slightly with fine-grit sandpaper for improved traction.
Scuff marks on patent leather.
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner or a small amount of petroleum jelly can sometimes help, followed by buffing.
