Full details
This guide is for the fashion-conscious adult seeking elegant footwear for both day and evening wear. The key benefit is the blend of sophisticated Italian craftsmanship with comfortable wearability, thanks to its soft leather insole and manageable heel height.

The Babouche Kitten Heel by Le Monde Beryl is a refined pump inspired by Venetian slippers, featuring a pointed toe, sharp vamp, and a 40mm heel. Handcrafted in Italy from glossy naplak leather with a cushioned calf-leather insole, it offers a timeless and versatile finish.

Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on glossy leather
Gently buff the area with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather cleaner for patent or glossy finishes can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Heels feel slightly tight
This is common with pointed-toe shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Consider using shoe stretchers or consulting a cobbler for professional stretching if needed.
Slipping due to leather sole
For increased traction, consider having a cobbler apply a thin rubber sole protector to the existing leather sole.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If the discomfort persists, the cushioned insole might not provide enough support for your foot type. Consider using additional cushioned insoles or orthotic inserts designed for heels.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the glossy naplak leather gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and light marks. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the shoes in their original dust bag or a soft cloth to protect the leather from scratches and maintain their shape. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray specifically designed for patent or glossy leathers to add a layer of protection against moisture and minor scuffs. Reapply periodically.
- Heel and Sole Care: The leather sole should be protected from excessive moisture. Avoid walking on wet surfaces for extended periods. Consider having protective rubber soles added by a cobbler for increased durability and grip.
