FAQs
What is the heel height of the VLogo 80 pumps?
The '80' in the product name typically refers to an 80mm (approximately 3.15 inches) heel height.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The fit depends on individual foot shape. While the leather may stretch slightly over time, the pointed toe and standard width might not be ideal for very wide feet. We recommend trying them on if possible.
How should I store these slingback pumps?
Store them in the original dust bag and shoe box to protect them from dust, scratches, and environmental damage. Keep in a cool, dry place.
Can the slingback strap be removed?
No, the slingback strap is a fixed design element of the shoe and cannot be removed.
What cleaning products are recommended for the leather?
Use a soft, dry cloth for general cleaning. For conditioning, use products specifically designed for high-quality leather, and always test on an inconspicuous area first.
What is included with the purchase?
The pumps typically include a shoe box and a dust bag for storage and protection.
Are these pumps true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between brands and styles. It is generally recommended to consult a size chart or try them on for the most accurate fit. Reviews sometimes offer insights into sizing.
Troubleshooting
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buckle prongs are aligned correctly with the holes. If stiff, gently work the buckle back and forth. Avoid forcing it.
Leather appears dry or dull.
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for fine leather goods using a soft cloth. Buff gently.
Soles feel slippery.
Break in the shoes on a rougher surface or have a cobbler add a thin rubber sole or protective layer to the existing leather sole for improved traction.
Scuff marks on the pointed toe.
For minor scuffs, try using a leather eraser or a colored shoe cream matching the Oak Brown shade. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair specialist.
