FAQs

How do I 'break in' these heeled sandals?

Wear them for short periods around your home on carpeted surfaces before a big event. This helps the material mold to your foot and allows you to get used to walking in the stiletto heel.

Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?

The pointed toe design might be snug for wider feet. It's recommended to try them on to assess comfort. Foot stretchers designed for pointed shoes could potentially help with minor width issues.

Can I wear these outdoors?

Yes, but be mindful of the surfaces. Rough terrain, gravel, or cobblestones can damage the stiletto heel and patent finish. Stick to smoother paths and indoor settings for best preservation.

What kind of socks or stockings can I wear with these?

Due to the cut-out details and slingback fastening, these sandals are typically worn with bare feet. If you must wear hosiery, opt for sheer, seamless options that complement the formal aesthetic.

How do I prevent blisters?

Ensure the slingback fastening is not too tight or too loose. Apply anti-blister balm or wear clear silicone protective patches on areas prone to rubbing, especially around the heel and toes.

What should I do if the heel tip wears down?

Worn heel tips can affect stability. It's important to take them to a professional cobbler for replacement as soon as you notice significant wear to prevent damage to the stiletto heel itself.

Troubleshooting

Slingback strap keeps slipping down

Ensure the slingback buckle is adjusted to a snug fit. If the strap is still loose, consider adding a clear, adhesive heel grip to the inside of the strap for better traction against your skin.

Discomfort in the ball of the foot

The stiletto heel places pressure on the ball of the foot. Use gel cushions or ball-of-foot inserts specifically designed for high heels to provide extra padding and support.

Slippery sole

New soles can sometimes be slick. Gently scuff the sole on a rough, non-damaging surface like concrete or add anti-slip pads designed for shoe soles to improve grip.

Patent finish has smudges or fingerprints

Wipe the affected area with a soft, clean, and slightly damp microfiber cloth. For persistent marks, a small amount of glass cleaner applied to the cloth (not directly to the shoe) can be effective. Always dry immediately.

Foot slides forward in the shoe

This can happen with open-toe or pointed-toe designs. Try a non-slip pad for the ball of your foot, or a toe cushion to fill the gap and keep your foot securely in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Wear

  1. Unpack Gently: Remove the sandals from their packaging carefully to avoid any immediate scuffs to the patent finish.
  2. Adjust Slingback: Unbuckle the slingback fastening. Place your foot into the sandal, ensuring your heel sits comfortably.
  3. Secure Fit: Fasten the slingback strap, adjusting the buckle until it is snug but not tight. You should be able to slide a finger easily between the strap and your ankle.
  4. Test Walk: Take a few steps on a clean, soft surface to confirm the fit and your comfort level.

Compatibility

  • Occasions: These sandals are best suited for dressed-up occasions such as formal dinners, weddings, cocktail parties, proms, or special celebratory events.
  • Clothing: They pair beautifully with formal dresses, skirts, tailored trousers, and elegant jumpsuits. The gold color offers excellent compatibility with a wide range of color palettes.
  • Footwear Accessories: Consider using ball-of-foot cushions or heel liners for added comfort, especially during extended wear.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Patent Finish: Wipe the patent finish with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or smudges. For deeper cleaning, a small amount of mild soap can be used, followed by a clean, damp wipe. Dry immediately with another soft cloth to restore shine. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Scuff Prevention: Store the sandals in their dust bag or individual shoe bags to prevent accidental scuffs and scratches from other items. Be mindful of rough surfaces when wearing them.
  • Heel Care: Periodically check the stiletto heel tips for wear. Worn heel tips can affect stability and damage the heel itself. Replace them as needed by a professional.
  • Storage: Keep the sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect the patent material.
