Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Catalinas generally follow standard UK sizing; however, the pointed toe can sometimes feel tighter than rounded-toe shoes.

Can I wear these for long periods?

Yes, the kitten heel is designed for extended wear compared to higher stilettos, though comfort is subjective based on individual arch support.

How should I clean the metallic buckle?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the buckle clean. Do not use metal polish as it may damage the surrounding leather.

Is the heel height suitable for beginners?

The kitten heel is a great entry point for those wanting to try a stiletto, as the lower height provides better balance.

Can I replace the heel tip?

Yes, if the heel tip wears down, a professional cobbler can easily replace it to extend the life of the shoe.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The pointed toe design is quite tapered, so those with wider feet may find them snug and might consider a half-size up if available.

Troubleshooting

Slingback strap feels loose while walking

Adjust the buckle tension if the design allows, or use a small adhesive silicone heel grip to keep the strap securely in place.

Visible scuffs on the lustrous material

Gently buff the area with a microfiber cloth. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional cobbler to avoid damaging the specific finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Dune London Catalinas, proper maintenance is essential.

  • Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to maintain the structure of the pointed toe.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust from the leather and the buckle. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they may strip the lustrous finish.
  • Compatibility: These shoes pair best with hemlines that hit just above or at the ankle to showcase the slingback silhouette.
  • Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water repellent spray before initial wear to guard against unexpected spills or light rain.
