FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the wide fit design and medium block heel are specifically engineered for enhanced comfort and stability, making them ideal for all-day wear in professional or formal settings.
How should I clean the faux suede material?
For light cleaning, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush. For stains, blot with a damp cloth and mild soap, or use a specialized faux suede cleaner. Always air dry.
What height is the heel?
The medium block heel measures between 5-6.5cm, providing a practical and stable height.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Faux suede is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain and consider applying a water-resistant spray designed for faux suede to protect them.
Do these shoes run true to size?
These shoes are designed in a UK Size 8 with a wide fit. For best results, we recommend referring to our size guide and considering your usual UK shoe size for heels.
What is the material of the shoes?
The shoes feature a luxurious faux suede finish, which is a type of faux leather designed to mimic the texture and appearance of real suede.
Is the buckle adjustable?
The buckle detail is covered and primarily decorative, adding an elegant touch to the design. It is not designed for adjustment.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite being wide fit.
While designed for a wide fit, individual foot shapes vary. Wear thin socks for a few hours to gently stretch the material, or use a shoe stretcher specifically designed for faux suede.
Faux suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the faux suede surface with a soft-bristled brush in one direction to restore its pile and appearance. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Shoes slip on smooth surfaces.
The soles are designed for general wear. For increased grip on very smooth or wet surfaces, a cobbler can add an anti-slip sole protector.
