Full details
The Maison Margiela Tabi Sandal Pump in Red is designed for the fashion-forward adult female seeking a statement evening shoe. Its key benefit is the iconic split-toe design paired with a luxurious velvet finish for a sophisticated, avant-garde look. A potential caveat is the unique Tabi toe, which requires some adjustment for comfort. This sandal pump features a tactile viscose-cupro velvet upper, an adjustable ankle strap with a metal buckle, a rounded block heel, and the signature white back stitching.

FAQs
What is the heel height of the Tabi Sandal Pump?
The heel height is 8cm.
What is the Tabi split-toe design?
The Tabi split-toe is a signature design by Maison Margiela that separates the big toe from the other toes, inspired by traditional Japanese footwear.
How should I clean the velvet material?
Clean with a soft, dry brush. For stains, it is best to consult a professional cleaner specializing in luxury materials.
Can the ankle strap be removed?
The ankle strap is an integral part of the sandal's design and is not removable. It features an adjustable metal buckle for fit.
What is the composition of the shoe?
The upper is made of 65% Viscose-Rayon and 35% Cupro. The lining and inside are 100% Ovine Leather, and the sole is 100% Calf Leather with a rubber contrast.
Is this shoe suitable for everyday wear?
These pumps are designed as statement evening wear due to their luxurious material and unique design. While comfortable for their heel height, they are best suited for special occasions rather than daily use.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the metal buckle on the ankle strap to the most comfortable and secure setting.
Velvet material appears matted or dusty
Gently brush the velvet with a soft, dry brush in the direction of the pile. For persistent dust, a slightly damp cloth (very lightly) can be used with extreme care, followed by air drying.
Discomfort from the split-toe
Allow for a gradual break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure your socks or hosiery (if worn) are compatible with the split-toe design.
Scuff marks on the heel or sole
Minor scuff marks on the heel can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For significant damage, consult a professional cobbler for repair or refinishing.
