FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vagabond Shoemakers MARTA series is generally designed to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may impact the specific fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the leather is durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain as prolonged moisture can damage the finish and potentially weaken the material.
How do I maintain the shine?
Regularly clean the shoes and apply a matching black shoe polish to restore and protect the leather's lustre.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The MARTA series features a standard width profile. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather softens over time, but you might consider a half-size up.
How should I store these heels?
Store them in a dust bag or a cool, dry closet, preferably using shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity of the toe box and heel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
Wear them indoors with medium-weight socks for short intervals to allow the leather to naturally stretch and conform to your foot.
Visible scuffs on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of black leather cream to the affected area, buff gently with a soft cloth, and allow it to dry before wearing.
Heel tap becomes worn down
Take the shoes to a professional cobbler to have the heel tips replaced, which is a standard maintenance task for high-quality pumps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are premium leather shoes, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid excessive exposure to harsh weather conditions. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris. If the leather begins to look dull, apply a high-quality leather cream or polish specifically designed for black footwear to keep the material supple and hydrated. When not in use, store your MARTA pumps in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed tissue paper to help the shoes retain their original shape.
