FAQs
Do these shoes come in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the black version, other colorways may be available depending on the season and retailer.
What does 'Alter Mat' mean?
Alter Mat is Stella McCartney's innovative, smooth, and supple vegan alternative to animal leather, made from recycled materials.
How high is the platform?
The Elyse platforms feature an 80mm platform height.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
Due to the 80mm platform, they are best suited for shorter durations or occasions where prolonged walking is not the primary activity. The design prioritizes style and a bold silhouette.
What is the material of the heel?
The wedge heel is made from FSC-certified beech wood.
How should I clean the saw-edge sole?
The signature saw-edge sole can be cleaned gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the sizing recommendation?
The Elyse runs large, so it is recommended to go one size down from your usual shoe size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too large
As the Elyse platforms run large, we recommend purchasing one size down from your usual shoe size. If you have already purchased and they are too large, consider using an insole for a snugger fit, though this may slightly alter the feel of the platform.
Scuff marks on vegan leather
Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized vegan leather cleaner may be used cautiously, following product instructions.
Wood heel feels unstable
Ensure the shoe is clean and free from debris. If the instability persists and appears to be a manufacturing defect, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These platforms require no setup upon arrival; they are ready to wear. They are compatible with a wide range of outfits, from casual to formal. To care for your Elyse platforms, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the recycled Alter Mat material.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original dust bag or shoebox to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
- Water Exposure: Minimize exposure to heavy rain or moisture, as excessive dampness can affect the wood heel and vegan leather.
- Heel Care: Be mindful of the beech wood heel and saw-edge sole; avoid walking on rough surfaces that could scratch or chip them.
