FAQs
Are these heels true to size?
Generally, the Skye Strappy Block Heels are designed to fit true to standard UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes, consider reviewing customer reviews for specific fit feedback. We recommend choosing your usual UK shoe size.
Can I wear these heels in rainy weather?
While the suede material (for this variant) can be protected with a waterproof spray, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing suede heels in heavy rain or wet conditions. Water can stain suede and alter its texture. For other material variants, consult their specific care instructions.
How do I clean the buckle?
The buckle can be gently wiped with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture directly on the buckle or surrounding suede.
What is the approximate heel height?
The Skye Strappy Block Heels feature a mid-high block heel, approximately 3.5 inches (9 cm).
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The strappy design and peep toe offer some flexibility, but these heels are designed for a standard foot width. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find them snug. Consider trying them on to assess comfort.
What material are these heels made of?
This specific variant (Red, UK 5) is made from suede. Other variants may be made from faux leather. Please check the product details for the specific material of your chosen size and color.
Troubleshooting
My suede heels look dull or matted.
Gently brush the suede with a specialized suede brush, always in the same direction, to restore the nap and luster. For stubborn areas, use a suede eraser before brushing.
The buckle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle to a different hole for a more comfortable fit. The strap should be snug enough to keep your foot secure but loose enough that you can slide one finger underneath without struggle.
I'm slipping a little in the shoes.
For better grip, especially on smooth surfaces, consider adding adhesive anti-slip pads to the sole of the shoe. Ensure the sole is clean and dry before applying.
My feet are getting sore after wearing them for a short time.
While these heels feature a cushioned insole, individual comfort needs vary. Consider adding thin gel or silicone insoles specifically designed for heels to provide additional cushioning and support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup & First Wear
- Unpack: Carefully remove the heels from their packaging.
- Inspect: Check for any manufacturing imperfections.
- Adjust Buckle: Fasten the ankle buckle, ensuring it is snug but not uncomfortably tight. You should be able to slide one finger underneath the strap.
- First Walk: Take a few steps on a clean, soft surface to get accustomed to the heel height and fit.
Compatibility (Styling Suggestions)
- Dresses & Skirts: Excellent with midi dresses, A-line skirts, pencil skirts, or flowy maxi dresses.
- Trousers & Jeans: Pair with tailored trousers, cropped pants, or skinny/straight-leg jeans to showcase the heel and strap detail.
- Occasions: Ideal for weddings, parties, business casual events, date nights, or any occasion where you want to add a touch of elegance.
Care Instructions (for Suede variant)
Proper care extends the life and appearance of your Skye Strappy Block Heels.
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to guard against water and stains. Reapply periodically as per product instructions.
- Cleaning Dust/Dirt:
- Use a suede brush (rubber or nylon bristles) to gently brush away loose dirt and dust. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- For stubborn dried mud, allow it to dry completely, then gently brush.
- Removing Stains:
- For oil/grease stains, apply cornstarch or talcum powder to absorb the oil, let it sit overnight, then brush off.
- For watermarks, lightly dampen the entire shoe with a fine mist of water, then gently brush with a suede brush to lift the nap. Stuff shoes with paper to maintain shape and air dry away from direct heat.
- For scuffs, gently rub a suede eraser over the affected area, then brush.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
- Avoid: Do not use water or harsh chemicals directly on suede unless specifically designed for suede cleaning. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions without proper protection.
*(Note: If your Skye Strappy Block Heels are made of Faux Leather, cleaning will involve wiping with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air drying.)*
