FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing conventions, though the pointed toe may feel slightly snug for those with wider feet.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet weather, as moisture can damage the texture and color of the material.
How do I secure the slingback strap?
The strap features a traditional pin-buckle, allowing you to manually adjust the tension for a custom fit.
What is the heel height like?
The Hostess series features a low block heel, specifically designed to offer comfort and balance without excessive height.
How should I clean minor scuffs?
Use a suede eraser to gently rub the scuffed area, followed by brushing the area with a suede brush to blend the texture.
Troubleshooting
Suede surface looks matted or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the material in one direction to restore the nap.
Ankle strap feels too loose or tight
Utilize the pin-buckle fastening to adjust the strap to one of the pre-set holes for a more secure fit.
Water spots on the suede
Lightly dampen the entire surface of the shoe with a specialized suede cleaner and let it dry completely; do not spot clean as this can cause rings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray to repel water and dirt, as the sage green suede is susceptible to marking. To maintain the shoes, use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally using shoe trees or tissue paper to help the pointed toe and silhouette retain their shape when not in use.
