FAQs
What is the platform height?
The platform height is approximately 5 cm at its highest point.
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, these are fashion sneakers designed for casual wear and style, not athletic activities. The platform sole may not provide adequate support or flexibility for sports.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution or a dedicated white leather cleaner. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What material is the lining made of?
The interior lining is made of polyester.
Do these sneakers come in other colors or patterns?
Yes, the Dottie series offers various colorways and patterns, including floral and polka dot designs, as well as different shades of brown and beige, with some featuring secondary metallic accents.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the UK sizing guide. The lace-up fastening allows for some adjustment, but choosing the correct size from the start is crucial for comfort and proper wear.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber sole offer some protection, these are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the leather and prevent water damage.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid excessive bending of the shoe.
Discoloration of white leather
Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. For stubborn marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner. Protect with a leather protector spray.
Platform sole feels unstable
Ensure laces are tied securely for a snug fit. If instability persists after a break-in period, ensure the size is correct. These are fashion sneakers, not performance footwear.
Metallic heel accent scuffing
Be mindful of surfaces that could scratch the metallic finish. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Minor scuffs may be difficult to remove completely.
