FAQs

What is the heel height of these pumps?

The D'Orsay 100 pumps feature a heel height of approximately 100mm (around 4 inches).

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for women's footwear. These pumps are listed with their corresponding UK size. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.

Can these pumps be worn in wet weather?

While the patent leather offers some resistance, it is not recommended to wear these luxury pumps in heavy rain or wet conditions, as it can damage the finish and materials.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in the original dust bag and shoe box provided to protect them from dust, scratches, and light.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

These pumps feature a classic D'Orsay silhouette with a pointed toe, which typically runs narrower. They may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet.

How should I care for the patent leather finish?

Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. A specialized patent leather conditioner can help maintain the shine and prevent cracking.

What does 'D'Orsay' refer to in the shoe's name?

The D'Orsay style is characterized by a shoe where the side is cut down low, often exposing the arch of the foot, creating a distinct silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on patent leather

Gently buff the scuff with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, try a small amount of non-gel toothpaste on a cloth, rub gently, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Buckle closure feels loose

Ensure the buckle is properly fastened through the chosen hole. If the strap itself shows signs of wear, consult a cobbler for potential repair or replacement.

Heel feels uncomfortable after a short period

Allow for a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially. Consider using heel grips or insoles for added comfort. If discomfort persists, they may not be suitable for extended wear.

Loss of shine

Clean the surface with a damp cloth and then apply a specialized patent leather cleaner or conditioner according to product directions.
