FAQs
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The Duke Wedge Court Shoes feature a comfortable wedge heel that measures between 6-9cm (approximately 3-3.5 inches).
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, they are designed with a wedge heel for enhanced comfort and stability, making them suitable for regular workwear and daily activities where you require a smart heel.
How do I choose the right size?
These shoes come in a `regular fit`. We recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider ordering both to find your best fit.
What material are these shoes made from?
The shoes are made from a stylish `leather-look` material, providing a chic finish that's easy to maintain.
Can I wear these for very formal events?
While elegant, the wedge heel may be considered less formal than a stiletto for certain very high-end or black-tie events. They are perfectly suited for business formal, smart casual, and many evening occasions.
How should I clean my Duke Wedge Court Shoes?
Wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used. Store them away from direct sunlight and extreme moisture.
Are these shoes available in other colors?
This specific model is available in `Black`. Please check product listings for other color variants if available.
Are these shoes comfortable for long periods?
The wedge heel design inherently offers more comfort and stability than a traditional high heel, making them a good choice for longer periods of wear, especially for office or event settings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thin socks or hosiery initially to break them in. Consider using heel grips or forefoot cushions for added comfort.
Shoes squeak when walking.
Often, new shoes can squeak. Try dusting the inside with baby powder or talcum powder to reduce friction. If the squeak is from the sole, it may reduce with wear or apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the edges of the sole.
Scuffs or marks appear on the `leather-look` material.
Clean the area with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap on the cloth. For color restoration, a shoe polish designed for synthetic materials can help.

Setup/Fit:
When you first receive your Duke Wedge Court Shoes, try them on to ensure the `regular fit` is comfortable. Walk around a little to assess the feel. If they feel snug, wearing them for short periods at home can help them mold slightly to your feet.
Compatibility:
These shoes are highly compatible with a range of outfits. For work, think pencil skirts, tailored dresses, or smart trousers. For social events, they can be paired with cocktail dresses, jumpsuits, or even dressy jeans for an elevated casual look. The classic black color makes them a versatile foundation for almost any outfit requiring a smart heel.
Care:
To keep your shoes looking their best, wipe them regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For any scuffs, a matching black shoe polish or restorer designed for synthetic materials can be used. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme moisture. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
