Info needed: While generally designed to be true to UK sizing, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if unsure.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the delicate ankle strap to find the perfect fit. There are multiple holes to allow for a customized and secure feel.
Shoes feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the fit is correct, consider adding thin insoles for extra cushioning or allow for a short break-in period. The platform and block heel are designed for comfort, but individual comfort levels vary.
Faux leather has developed scuffs or minor marks.
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp, soft cloth. For more persistent marks, a specialized faux leather cleaner applied sparingly can be effective. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel unstable when walking.
Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened but not overly tight. The substantial block heel is designed for stability, so an unstable feeling might indicate an issue with the strap adjustment or an improper fit.

Care
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the faux leather surface with a damp, soft cloth. Use a mild soap solution if necessary, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn spots, a specialized faux leather cleaner may be used, following the product instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Consider using a faux leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, if recommended for the specific material.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
