FAQs
What is the heel height of the Duke Wedge Court Shoes?
The heel height for these shoes is between 6-9cm (approximately 3-3.5 inches), providing a comfortable and stable lift.
What material are these shoes made from?
The Duke Wedge Court Shoes are made from genuine leather, which offers durability and a premium feel.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
These shoes are designed with a 'Regular Fit', which means they are intended for standard foot widths. If you typically require wide-fit footwear, they might feel snug.
How should I clean and care for my leather wedge shoes?
To clean, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use products specifically designed for leather footwear. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I wear these shoes for long periods?
Yes, the wedge heel design provides more stability and distributes weight more evenly than a stiletto, making them generally more comfortable for extended wear. However, individual comfort may vary.
Are these shoes suitable for formal events?
Absolutely. The classic court shoe design and elegant leather finish make them well-suited for a variety of formal occasions, as well as workwear and special events.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during initial wear.
Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house with socks. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or taking them to a professional cobbler for stretching.
Leather appears dull, scuffed, or scratched.
Clean the area with a soft, damp cloth. For scuffs, use a leather cleaner or a dab of leather balm, buffing gently. For deeper scratches, a colored shoe polish matching the leather can help conceal them, followed by conditioning.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
The soles may be very smooth when new. You can lightly scuff the soles with fine-grit sandpaper for better traction. Alternatively, apply adhesive non-slip pads (available at shoe stores) to the bottom of the soles.
Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.
Allow shoes to air out between wears. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use (remove before wearing). Wearing moisture-wicking socks can also help.

Care
As the Duke Wedge Court Shoes are made with genuine leather, proper care is essential to maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe away dirt and dust with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth after each wear.
- Stains: For minor scuffs or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This helps maintain its natural luster.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray, especially if you anticipate exposure to rain or moisture.
- Storage: When not in use, store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Keep them in a dust bag to prevent scratches.
