FAQs
What is the platform height of the Dottie Platform Sneakers?
The platform height is approximately 5 cm at its highest point.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
The upper is made of leather, the lining is polyester, and the sole is rubber.
How should I clean the white leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for white leather, applying it sparingly. Always allow to air dry.
Are these sneakers suitable for wide feet?

Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.

What is the heel accent made of?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Gently flexing the shoes can also help.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check if the laces are too tight or if there is any debris trapped in the sole. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help if the squeak is internal.
Difficulty adjusting laces
Ensure the eyelets are clear of debris. If the laces feel rough, consider replacing them with a similar material or a waxed lace for smoother adjustment.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try using a white leather eraser or a specialized white leather cleaning balm. For deeper marks, professional leather cleaning might be necessary.
