FAQs

How high is the heel on these shoes?

The block heel measures between 5 and 6.5cm, offering a comfortable lift and stability.

Are these shoes suitable for dancing?

Yes, the secure slingback strap and stable block heel make them a great choice for dancing, providing both comfort and confidence.

How should I clean the faux suede material?

Gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth for minor marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized faux suede cleaner. Avoid soaking them or using harsh chemicals, and always air dry.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear faux suede shoes in the rain as the material is not water-resistant and can be damaged or stained by water.

What kind of outfits pair best with these shoes?

These versatile shoes can be dressed up or down. They pair beautifully with jeans and a blouse for a casual look, or with cocktail dresses and elegant jumpsuits for more glamorous occasions.

Are these shoes true to size?

Based on typical sizing, these shoes are generally considered true to UK size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit.

Do the slingback straps offer any adjustability?

The slingback straps are typically designed for a snug fit, often with an elasticated section. While they don't usually feature traditional buckles for extensive adjustment, they are crafted to provide a secure and comfortable hold.

Troubleshooting

Slingback strap keeps slipping off your heel.

Ensure you have the correct shoe size. If the strap is adjustable, tighten it slightly. If it's elasticated, it might be stretched, or the shoe might be too big. Consider adding a small heel grip pad inside the shoe to create more friction.

Faux suede appears dull or matted.

Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled brush (like a toothbrush or a specialized suede brush) to lift the fibers and restore its texture.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear despite the block heel.

Consider adding thin, cushioned insoles for extra comfort and support, especially under the ball of the foot. Ensure your socks/tights are not causing friction.

Stains or dirt on the faux suede.

Act quickly. Gently blot fresh stains with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a faux suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap, dabbing carefully. Let it air dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Balanced Elegance and Comfort: Designed to look chic without sacrificing comfort, ideal for long events.
  • Enhanced Stability: The block heel offers superior stability compared to thinner heels, reducing strain.
  • Versatile Styling: Easily transition from casual chic (jeans and a blouse) to sophisticated formal wear (dresses).
  • Charming Aesthetic: The bow detail adds a unique, feminine touch that stands out.
  • Secure Wearing: The slingback strap ensures the shoes stay firmly on your feet while moving.

Cons

  • Faux Suede Care: Requires specific, gentle care to maintain its appearance and avoid damage from moisture or harsh cleaning.
  • Limited Adjustability: Beyond the slingback, there's no further adjustability for foot width or arch support.
  • Material Durability: Faux suede may show wear faster than genuine leather or some synthetic materials if not properly maintained.
  • Not Water Resistant: Faux suede is generally not water-resistant, making them unsuitable for rainy conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Fitting

  1. Ensure Correct Size: Select your standard UK shoe size. The slingback strap should hold your foot securely without digging in or slipping excessively.
  2. Adjust Slingback: The slingback strap is designed to offer a snug fit. While often elasticated, ensure it sits comfortably around your heel, providing stability without constriction.
  3. Initial Walk Test: Wear the shoes around your home for a short period to confirm comfort and fit before wearing them out for an extended time.

Compatibility

These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a range of outfits:

  • Casual Chic: Ideal with jeans, tailored trousers, or capris and a stylish top.
  • Evening Wear: Perfect for pairing with cocktail dresses, midi skirts, or elegant jumpsuits.
  • Seasonal Adaptability: Best suited for warmer weather or indoor events due to the open slingback design and faux suede material.

Care

To maintain the pristine condition of your faux suede shoes:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For small marks, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing aggressively, as this can damage the faux suede fibers.
  2. Deep Cleaning (Rarely Needed): For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized faux suede cleaner or a very mild soap solution applied sparingly to a cloth. Blot, do not rub, and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  3. Protection: Consider using a faux suede protector spray to repel water and stains, especially before first wear. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag, to protect them from dust and prevent the faux suede from flattening or getting scuffed. Avoid direct sunlight.
  5. Avoid Moisture: Faux suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing these shoes in rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean towel and allow to air dry naturally.
