FAQs
What is the heel height of the Babette Platform?
The sandals feature a 100-mm (approximately 4-inch) block heel.
Are these shoes comfortable for long periods?
The platform helps reduce the angle of the foot, making them more comfortable than a standard pump, though the 100-mm height is still substantial for long-term standing.
How should I clean the leather lining?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the interior lining. Do not soak the leather, as this can cause warping or staining.
Does the ankle strap provide enough support?
Yes, the adjustable ankle strap is designed to keep your heel securely in place, minimizing slippage during movement.
Are these true to size?
The Babette series generally fits true to size, but since they are premium leather, they may offer a snug fit initially before molding to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the buckle to the next hole setting to find the optimal tension, ensuring the shoe remains secure but does not cause circulation issues.
Slipping inside the shoe
Use a clear silicone grip insert or ball-of-foot cushion to prevent sliding forward in the almond-toe box.
Scuff marks on leather
Use a matching leather polish or cream to buff out minor surface scuffs carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Stuart Weitzman sandals, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading. Since these are leather-lined, it is recommended to use a shoe tree or stuffed tissue paper to help the sandals retain their shape when not in use. When cleaning, wipe the leather exterior gently with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish. Because these are open-toe, ensure your feet are well-moisturized to avoid excessive friction against the leather straps. If the TPU outsole picks up dirt, a mild soap and water solution applied with a soft brush can be used on the sole only.
