Dorothy Perkins Court Shoes - Stiletto Heel, Wide Fit, Size UK 6

These shoes are designed with a generous wide fit, so you should generally select your standard UK shoe size. If you often find yourself between sizes, or if your feet are particularly wide, consider ordering the larger size. Trying them on towards the end of the day is often recommended as feet can be slightly larger then.

Yes, the wide fit construction is specifically engineered to provide enhanced comfort, making them suitable for extended periods of wear in many situations. However, due to the high stiletto heel (7-9cm), comfort levels can vary depending on individual tolerance, the amount of standing or walking involved, and personal preference for heel height.

The upper of these court shoes is crafted from high-quality faux leather. This material offers a polished and sophisticated appearance, similar to genuine leather, while also being relatively easy to care for.

To clean, gently wipe the faux leather with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees, to maintain their shape.

These court shoes feature an elegant high stiletto heel, which typically measures between 7 and 9 centimeters (approximately 2.75 to 3.5 inches). This height is designed to provide an elegant lift and create a leg-elongating effect.

While the faux leather offers some resistance to moisture, these shoes are not waterproof. We strongly recommend avoiding heavy rain or walking through puddles to protect the material and maintain their appearance. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry thoroughly at room temperature.

The primary comfort feature of these shoes is their wide fit construction. While they provide standard internal support typical for a court shoe, they are not specifically advertised with enhanced or orthopedic arch support features. For individuals with specific arch support needs, custom shoe inserts may be a beneficial addition.

While designed for wide feet, individual foot shapes and sizes can vary. Allow for a short break-in period, as faux leather can soften slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, ensure you have selected the correct UK size. It can also be helpful to try shoes on towards the end of the day when feet are typically slightly larger due to natural swelling.

For light surface scuffs, gently clean the area with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For deeper marks, a specialized faux leather repair cream or polish (ensure it matches the shoe's color) might help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid rubbing aggressively, which can worsen the mark.

High heels, especially stilettos, naturally experience wear on the heel tips, particularly with frequent use. This is a normal part of shoe maintenance. Take your shoes to a professional cobbler to have the heel tips replaced promptly. This will protect the main heel structure and maintain stability and comfort.

The sole material may be smooth, which can reduce grip on polished or wet surfaces. Consider purchasing anti-slip pads designed to adhere to shoe soles, available at most shoe stores. Alternatively, a professional cobbler can add a thin, textured rubber sole layer to the bottom of the shoes for significantly improved traction.
