FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the wide fit design and mid block heel are specifically intended to provide comfort and stability for extended periods, making them suitable for all-day casual or relaxed events.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The sandals feature a mid block heel, offering a modest lift and walkable height. Info needed: (Specific heel height in cm/inches will provide a more precise answer.)
How do I properly clean the faux leather material?
Gently wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these sandals in wet conditions?
While faux leather is durable, it's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to maintain the material's appearance and longevity. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly before storage.
Are these sandals true to size?
These sandals are designed with a wide fit, which means they offer more room than standard-fit shoes. They should be true to your usual UK shoe size for wide-fit footwear. If you typically wear a standard fit, you might find them generously sized.
What types of occasions are these sandals best suited for?
Their versatile design makes them perfect for casual daytime outings like brunch or shopping, and relaxed evening affairs such as baby showers or informal dinners, easily transitioning between different settings.
Do these sandals provide good grip?
The block heel design inherently provides more stability than a stiletto. The sole material is designed for typical indoor and outdoor surfaces. Always exercise caution on slippery or uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle to a different hole on the ankle strap for a more comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you can slide one finger under the strap.
Foot slips forward within the sandal.
Ensure the ankle strap is fastened securely. If the issue persists, consider using an adhesive non-slip pad for the ball of your foot (available at most shoe stores).
Faux leather upper appears dull or has minor stains.
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth, then allow to air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.
Sandals squeak when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new soles or if moisture is trapped. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder on the insole or under the foot straps to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup (Wearing Instructions)
Unbuckle the Ankle Strap: Begin by loosening the buckle on the ankle strap.
Position Your Foot: Slide your foot into the sandal, ensuring the foot straps sit comfortably across your foot.
Fasten the Ankle Strap: Wrap the ankle strap around your ankle.
Adjust the Buckle: Secure the buckle, adjusting it to a snug but not tight fit. You should be able to slide one finger comfortably under the strap to ensure adequate circulation and comfort.

Relaxed Evening: Ideal partners for `flowy midi dresses`, `jumpsuits`, or dressier `trousers` paired with an elegant top.
Color Matching: The versatile neutral gold hue complements a wide array of colors, from pastels and vibrant tones to classic black, white, and navy.
Care & Maintenance
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the faux leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution (like a drop of dish soap in water), then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
Drying: Always allow your sandals to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage faux leather.
Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe bag or box will help protect them from dust and prevent scuffs or scratches from other items.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge the sandals in water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the faux leather material.
