FAQs
How do I determine my correct size?
The BABETTE PLATFORM ZIP BOOT runs true to size with a medium width. We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the brand's sizing chart. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit (snug or more room).
What is the heel height and platform height?
The heel height is 8.9 cm (approximately 3.5 inches), and the platform height is 1.3 cm (approximately 0.5 inches). The heel drop, which is the effective height you feel, is 7.6 cm (approximately 3 inches).
Can I wear these boots in wet weather?
While the boots are made of leather, they are not specifically designed for heavy wet conditions. We recommend treating them with a waterproof spray for leather and avoiding prolonged exposure to rain or snow to maintain their quality and appearance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. For tougher spots or to maintain the leather's condition, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner as per product instructions.
Is the side zipper functional for easy wear?
Yes, the discreet side zipper is fully functional and designed to make slipping the boots on and off with ease, complementing the minimalist design.
What is the primary material of the boot?
The boot features a leather upper and a leather lining. The sole is made from synthetic and leather materials.
Are these boots suitable for wide feet?
These boots are designed with a medium (M) width. If you typically require a wide fit, they may not be the most comfortable option.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper is aligned correctly. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down.
Boots feel tight after initial wear.
Leather will stretch slightly with wear. Wear them for short periods initially. If persistent, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching.
Scuffs or marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try a leather cleaner or conditioner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Slight squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather. Try applying talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or to any areas where friction might be occurring.
