FAQs
Can these shoes be worn with socks?
Yes, they can be worn with low-cut liners or invisible socks if desired, though the internal fleece lining is designed to be comfortable against bare skin.
Is the heel height comfortable for long walks?
The 10 mm heel is very low and provides excellent stability, making these quite comfortable for long walks on flat surfaces.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Samtchev series features an elasticated collar which helps achieve a secure fit; ensure your heel does not slip out while walking.
Are these suitable for rainy days?
Velvet is not waterproof, so it is best to avoid wearing these in heavy rain or deep puddles to preserve the material quality.
What is the best way to store these long-term?
Store them in their box or a breathable cloth bag to prevent dust buildup, ensuring they are kept away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the velvet surface
Use a specialized soft-bristled velvet brush to gently sweep away particles in the direction of the fabric grain.
Elasticated collar feels too tight
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors with thin socks to allow the elastic to stretch naturally to your foot shape.
Minor water spotting on the fabric
Gently blot the area with a dry, clean microfiber cloth and allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are designed for immediate wear with no break-in period required, thanks to the flexible upper material. To ensure longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. To clean the velvet, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust, moving in the direction of the nap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water-based cleaners, as these can permanently damage the velvet texture. If you anticipate walking in light moisture, consider applying a specialized suede or velvet-safe protective spray, though spot-testing is recommended first.
