FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for extensive walking?

While the platform offers stability, the significant height and weight of the platform sole are best suited for moderate walking or shorter durations. They are primarily fashion footwear.

How do I clean the black crystal embellishments?

Gently wipe the crystals with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or dislodge the embellishments.

What type of outfits do these pumps best complement?

They are highly versatile and complement a wide range of outfits. They pair well with jeans, skirts, dresses, and tailored trousers, adding a statement element to both casual and formal looks.

Is the platform sole flexible?

The platform sole is designed for stability and height. While it has some give, it is not as flexible as a standard shoe sole.

What is the purpose of the adjustable buckle strap?

The adjustable buckle strap allows you to customize the fit for maximum security and comfort, helping to keep the shoe firmly on your foot despite the platform height.

Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet weather. Water exposure can damage the materials, embellishments, and adhesives used in their construction.

What shoe size is this guide referring to?

This guide specifically addresses the Buffalo Crystal Embellished Platform Mary Jane Ballet Pumps in Black, Size UK 5.

Troubleshooting

Buckle strap is difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the buckle prongs align correctly with the holes. If stiff, gently work the buckle back and forth. Check for any debris obstructing the buckle mechanism.

Shoes feel uncomfortable after initial wear.

This is common with platform shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. Ensure the buckle strap is adjusted to the optimal tightness – not too loose, not too tight.

Crystals appear to be loose or missing.

Inspect the shoes carefully. If a few are loose, they may be fixable with a strong fabric glue suitable for embellishments. For significant damage, contact customer support.

Platform sole squeaks during walking.

This can sometimes occur with new platform shoes. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole if accessible, or around the edges of the sole where it meets the upper. Ensure the sole is clean and dry.

  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to protect the crystals from scratches and dust.
