FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Petra series generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the pointed-toe design may feel more snug than round-toe alternatives.
How do I clean the satin material?
Satin is a delicate fabric; use a soft, dry brush for surface dust and a slightly dampened cloth with mild detergent for spot cleaning, ensuring you do not soak the material.
Can I wear these for long periods?
While they are designed for comfort, they are high-heeled pumps; it is recommended to build up wear time gradually if you are not used to heels.
Does the slingback strap have an adjustable buckle?
Most Petra variants feature a functional buckle on the slingback strap, allowing for minor adjustments to find your perfect fit.
Are these suitable for formal weddings?
Yes, the sophisticated design and range of colors, including Ivory and Floral, make them a popular choice for wedding attire.
Troubleshooting
Heel strap feels too loose
Consider using clear gel heel grips or adhesive strap cushions to improve the fit and prevent the strap from sliding.
Pointed toe causes discomfort
Use a shoe stretcher overnight or apply a leather softening spray to the interior toe box to increase flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are slip-on style pumps, there is no technical setup required. To ensure longevity, always use a shoe horn when putting them on to avoid collapsing the heel counter. For cleaning, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. If you have the satin variants, use a specialized textile cleaner and store them in a dust bag away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. We recommend checking the sizing conversion charts, as fit can vary slightly between the various Petra colorways and material finishes.
