FAQs
What is the heel height of the Babouche Kitten heels?
The heel height is 40 mm, which is approximately 1.57 inches.
How should I clean the glossy naplack leather?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Are these heels suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the cushioned calf-leather insole and the moderate 40 mm kitten heel are designed to provide comfort for extended wear, making them suitable for both day and evening use.
What type of outfits do these heels best complement?
Their minimalist and refined design makes them highly versatile, pairing well with business attire, casual outfits like jeans, skirts, and dresses for an elegant touch.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These heels are handcrafted in Italy, ensuring high-quality artisanal production.
Can the pointed toe be uncomfortable?
The pointed toe offers a sophisticated look but requires a proper fit. If the shoe feels too tight in the toe box, it may cause discomfort. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape.
What maintenance is recommended for the leather sole?
To enhance durability and traction, especially in wet conditions, you can have protective rubber soles fitted by a professional cobbler.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Leather will naturally mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to allow for a break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider professional stretching or ensure the correct size was purchased.
Glossy finish appears dull or scuffed.
Gently buff the affected area with a soft, dry cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialist leather balm or polish for glossy leather may help restore the shine. Avoid excessive rubbing.
Soles show signs of wear or lack grip.
Consult a cobbler to have protective rubber soles fitted. This will enhance durability and improve traction, particularly on slippery surfaces.
Insole cushioning feels less supportive over time.
Ensure the insoles are kept clean and dry. For significant loss of cushioning, consider purchasing thin, high-quality insoles designed for dress shoes.
