Dorothy Perkins Court Shoes - Red - UK 4

These Dorothy Perkins shoes are designed as UK Size 4 with a wide fit. Most customers find them true to their usual UK shoe size, with the added benefit of extra width. If you are typically between sizes or unsure, refer to a standard UK shoe size chart. The wide fit addresses width, not length.

'Wide fit' indicates that the shoe is designed with more room across the ball of the foot and the toe box compared to standard fit shoes. This provides increased comfort for individuals with wider feet, bunions, or those who experience foot swelling, reducing pressure and discomfort.

Yes, the combination of the wide fit design and the stable mid block heel is specifically chosen to enhance comfort and support, making these court shoes suitable for all-day wear. The block heel provides better weight distribution than thinner heels.

To maintain the shine, regularly wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth. For an extra gleam, apply a small amount of patent leather cleaner or petroleum jelly to a clean cloth, rub gently, and then buff with a separate dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Absolutely. The chic double Mary Jane design, glossy faux patent leather finish, and elegant red colour make these court shoes a sophisticated choice for various formal and semi-formal events, as well as professional settings.

Yes, the double Mary Jane straps are designed to provide enhanced security. They cross the instep, keeping your foot firmly in place and reducing slippage, which contributes to overall comfort and stability while walking.

While designed for a wide fit, individual foot shapes vary. Try wearing them with thin hosiery for a few short periods to allow the faux leather to soften slightly. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher specifically designed for synthetic materials, or consult a cobbler. Ensure the issue isn't the length, as wide fit refers to width.

Wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For dullness, apply a tiny amount of patent leather cleaner or even petroleum jelly to a soft cloth, rub gently, and then buff to a shine with a clean, dry cloth. For minor scuffs, a white eraser can sometimes help, followed by buffing.

Adjust the buckles on each strap. Ensure they are fastened securely but not so tight that they pinch your foot. If you are at the last hole and still cannot get a comfortable fit, a cobbler may be able to add a new hole for a better fit.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between parts or the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole if it's removable. For external squeaks, ensure the heel is firmly attached and not rubbing against other parts of the shoe.

Faux leather can be less breathable than natural materials. Consider wearing thin, moisture-wicking socks or hosiery. Using foot powder can also help absorb moisture and reduce discomfort. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
