Dorothy Perkins Echo Court Shoes - Gold - Size 7

Due to the faux suede material, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions and indoor events. While a protective spray can help, prolonged exposure to rain or wet surfaces is not recommended as it can damage the material.

The shoes feature a high block heel that measures between 7 and 9 centimeters, offering a comfortable lift and stable support.

It is always recommended to refer to the specific brand's sizing chart. While these are a UK Size 7 with a wide fit, checking foot measurements against a size guide can help ensure the best fit.

While versatile for many daytime events and smart casual attire, their 'Echo' series design and faux suede finish are primarily geared towards smart casual, brunch, office, and daytime semi-formal events. For very formal evening wear, a different style might be more appropriate, depending on the specific occasion.

No, the ankle strap is an integral part of the shoe's design and is not designed to be removed. It provides both style and a secure fit.

Adjust the buckle on the ankle strap. There are multiple holes for adjustment to ensure a secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different holes until you find the ideal tightness.

Gently brush the faux suede with a soft-bristled brush in one direction to restore its texture and remove surface dust. For marks, use a clean, slightly damp cloth to blot the area gently, then air dry.

While designed for comfort, high heels can still cause fatigue. Consider using thin gel inserts or cushions for added arch or ball-of-foot support. Ensure you've had time to 'break in' the shoes, as new shoes often need a few wears to fully conform to your feet.
