FAQs

How do I clean these faux suede heels?

For light dust, use a soft brush or dry cloth. For stains, use a faux suede specific cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water, and if they get wet, blot dry and air dry naturally.

Are these heels comfortable for extended wear?

Yes, the 2cm platform helps to reduce the effective heel height, making them more comfortable than traditional high heels for longer periods. The secure ankle strap also aids in stability.

What is the actual heel height of these shoes?

The total heel height is 9cm, with an additional 2cm platform at the front, which reduces the incline and contributes to comfort.

Can I wear these heels in rainy weather?

It is not recommended to wear faux suede in rainy weather as water can damage the material and leave marks. If they do get wet, blot dry immediately and allow them to air dry.

What kind of outfits are best suited for these heels?

These heels are perfect for semi-formal to formal occasions. They pair beautifully with cocktail dresses, evening gowns, tailored trousers, and elegant jumpsuits, adding a touch of sophistication to your look.

Are these heels true to size?

These heels are generally designed to fit true to size, specifically UK size 8 as per this variant. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so always refer to any provided size guides if available.

Troubleshooting

Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the buckle to a different hole for a more comfortable fit. The strap should be snug enough to secure your foot but allow for natural movement without digging into your skin.

Faux suede appears dull or has minor scuff marks.

Gently brush the affected area with a soft suede brush or a clean, dry cloth in one direction. This helps to lift the nap and restore the material's original appearance. For stubborn scuffs, a specialized faux suede eraser might be effective.

Unstable feeling while walking in the heels.

Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened but not overly tight. Practice walking on a flat, even surface to get accustomed to the heel height and platform. If discomfort persists, verify that the shoe size is correct; an ill-fitting shoe can affect stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Wearing Your Heels

  2. Slide Your Foot In: Position your foot so that the crossover straps sit comfortably across the front of your foot.
  3. Secure the Ankle Strap: Wrap the strap around your ankle and fasten the buckle to a comfortable, secure fit. It should be snug enough to prevent slipping but not so tight as to restrict circulation.

  • Color Palette: Their black hue means they pair effortlessly with almost any color, from vibrant brights to muted neutrals.
  • Style: Best suited for semi-formal to formal attire, complementing everything from elegant evening dresses to sophisticated tailored jumpsuits or separates.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure your faux suede platform heels remain in pristine condition, follow these care instructions:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or dust, use a soft, dry brush specifically designed for suede or a clean microfiber cloth. Brush gently in one direction to maintain the nap.
  • Deeper Cleaning: For tougher stains, use a faux suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid Water: Faux suede can be damaged by water. If they get wet, blot gently with a clean towel and let them air dry away from direct heat.
  • Protection: Consider using a faux suede protective spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
  • Storage: Store them in their original box or a shoe bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
