FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the TOMS Gemma D'Orsay is generally considered to fit true to standard UK sizing.
Can I wear these for long walks?
They are designed for all-day comfort, but they are styled as fashion flats rather than dedicated walking shoes.
How do I clean the leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not put them in a washing machine as this will damage the leather.
What is the heel height?
The mini wedge provides approximately 6mm of lift.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the product features high-quality leather construction for the upper.
Troubleshooting
Leather looking dull or dry
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Use a matching leather polish or a soft eraser to gently buff away surface marks.
Insoles losing responsiveness
Ensure the insoles are lying flat within the shoe; if comfort is significantly reduced, the CloudBound foam may be reaching the end of its typical lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your TOMS Gemma D'Orsay flats last, proper care is essential. Since they are constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or exposing them to excessive heat, which can crack the material. If the shoes become dirty, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and use a dedicated leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple. When sizing, consider that these flats fit true to size for most, but the leather may stretch slightly over time to accommodate the unique shape of your foot.
