FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The sizing follows standard luxury Italian fit; however, it is recommended to consult the size guide to match your UK foot size correctly.
Can I wear these in the rain?
No. The mesh material and leather sole are not water-resistant and may be permanently damaged by exposure to rain or puddles.
How do I protect the varnished heel?
Avoid walking on grates, uneven stones, or surfaces that could easily scratch or chip the varnish.
What is the best way to store them?
Store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable fabric dust bag to prevent the mesh from snagging or gathering dust.
Can I stretch the mesh if they feel tight?
It is not recommended to use mechanical stretchers on mesh materials as this can cause the fabric to lose its structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Heel tip showing signs of wear
Take the shoes to a professional cobbler to replace the rubber heel cap before the metal lettering or the varnish is damaged.
Mesh becoming dusty
Use a gentle, dry microfiber cloth to lightly wipe the surface. Avoid liquid cleaners that could stain the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these shoes feature a delicate mesh upper, proper care is essential to extend their lifespan. Avoid exposing the shoes to moisture or harsh chemicals. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove surface dust from the mesh. Do not use standard shoe brushes, as they may snag the mesh weave. When not in use, store these pumps in a breathable dust bag, preferably with shoe trees inside to maintain the structured shape of the slingback. Ensure you check the heel tip periodically for wear; since it is capped in rubber with metal lettering, replacing the rubber piece by a professional cobbler when it wears down will help protect the integrity of the heel.
