FAQs
What is the actual heel height?
The Babette Platform Pump has a total heel height of 100 mm.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
The Babette Platform Pump is crafted in Spain.
Does the suede require any specific protective spray?
Yes, using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede can help preserve the material, though you should always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
How should I clean the suede if I get a spot on it?
Use a suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth to gently dab the spot; avoid using water or household cleaning agents as they may cause water stains.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The low-cut vamp and adjustable strap offer some flexibility, but the shoe is structured; if you have wide feet, consider wearing them for short periods to break them in gradually.
Can the ankle strap be removed?
The ankle strap is a structural component of the design and should not be removed.
Troubleshooting
Ankle strap feels too tight or digs into skin
Ensure the strap is fastened on the outermost adjustment hole; if discomfort persists, use a leather/suede stretching spray on the strap or consult a professional cobbler.
Dust or light dirt on the suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush and gently brush the fabric in one consistent direction to lift debris and restore the nap.
Heel tips wearing down after frequent use
This is normal wear for any high heel. Take your pumps to a local cobbler to have the heel caps replaced to maintain stability and prevent damage to the block heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your suede pumps remain in pristine condition, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of premium suede, avoid wearing these shoes in rainy or damp conditions, as moisture can permanently damage the nap of the fabric. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dust and light surface debris after each use. Store your pumps in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally using a shoe tree or stuffed with acid-free tissue paper to maintain the shape of the low-cut vamp. For the best fit, adjust the ankle strap when seated, ensuring the strap sits firmly above the ankle bone without restricting circulation.
