FAQs
What is the heel height of the Tracie sandal?
The Steve Madden Tracie features a 5 cm (approximately 2-inch) kitten heel.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While the kitten heel is designed for comfort, they are best suited for office, social, or light-walking environments rather than long-distance trekking.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface debris and a specialized suede eraser for minor marks. Avoid using liquid cleaners.
Do these sandals run true to size?
The Tracie series generally follows standard sizing, though we recommend consulting the size guide for your specific UK size measurement.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can permanently damage the suede and cause texture changes.
Troubleshooting
Suede becomes dusty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently buff the surface in one direction to restore the material's texture.
Foot slipping out of the sandal
Ensure your feet are dry and consider using a thin, adhesive gel insole for better grip within the shoe.
Water spots on suede
Let the shoes dry naturally away from heat sources and use a suede brush once fully dry to blend the area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Tracie sandals maintain their appearance, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Use a high-quality suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against dust and moisture.
- Cleaning: Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the brown dye over time.
- Handling Stains: Use a specialized suede eraser for small spots, avoiding water as much as possible to prevent water marks.
