What is the heel height?

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While designed for comfort with a platform, the significant height may make them more suitable for special occasions or shorter periods of wear, depending on individual comfort with high heels.
How should I clean the vegan leather?
Gently wipe the material with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What kind of sole does it have?
It features a white signature saw-edge micro sole.

They are made in Italy.
Can I adjust the fit of the shoe?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight despite ordering usual size
The Elyse line is known to run large. Try ordering one size down from your usual shoe size for a better fit. If you have already purchased, consider using thin insoles for a snugger feel, or consult a cobbler for potential minor adjustments.
Scuff marks on the vegan leather upper
For minor scuffs, try gently buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a slightly damp cloth or a specialized vegan leather cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Difficulty walking in the high platform
Practice walking indoors on a carpeted surface to get accustomed to the height and balance. Ensure your heel is securely in place with the lace-up fastening. Consider adding a small heel grip insert if your heel slips.
Unevenness or damage to the wood heel
Keep the wood heel dry to prevent swelling or cracking. For minor scratches, a wood polish might help. For significant damage, consult a professional cobbler specializing in shoe repair.
