FAQs
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The heel height is 4.5cm, which is approximately 2 inches.
What material are the uppers made of?
The uppers are made of 100% polyurethane (PU Leather).
How should I determine the right size?
The product information advises taking one size bigger than your usual size for a better fit.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
While they offer a secure fit and moderate heel height, stiletto heels can be less comfortable for extended periods compared to lower or block heels. They are best suited for events where you won't be on your feet constantly.
How do I clean the gold detailing?
Gently wipe the gold areas with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the closure type?
The closure type is a strap and buckle fastening.
Can these shoes be worn for weddings?
Yes, their sophisticated design makes them an excellent choice for wedding guest attire or even as bridal shoes, depending on the overall bridal style.
Troubleshooting
Heels feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them with thicker socks for a short period indoors to gently stretch the PU leather. If the issue persists, consider if the 'size up' recommendation was followed correctly, and if not, exchange for a larger size.
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the strap is aligned correctly with the buckle mechanism. Gently work the buckle back and forth. If it remains stiff, a tiny drop of lubricant on the buckle hinge might help, but use sparingly and test first.
Gold accent appears dull or scuffed
Gently wipe the gold areas with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized metal polish for costume jewelry might be carefully applied with a cotton swab, avoiding contact with the white material.
Slipping at the heel
Ensure the strap and buckle are adjusted for a snug fit. If slippage continues, consider using heel grips or inserts designed for pointed-toe shoes.

Cons
- Recommendation to size up may lead to confusion or incorrect initial sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Ensure they are the correct size before wearing. Due to the recommendation to size up, trying them on indoors on a clean surface is advised.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of formal wear, including evening gowns, cocktail dresses, and elegant separates. They complement styles focusing on sophistication and glamour.
Care:
- Uppers: Clean the PU leather with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or the gold accents.
- Lining: The 100% other materials lining can be spot-cleaned with a mild soap and water solution if needed, ensuring it dries completely before storage.
- Sole: The rubber sole offers some traction; keep it dry and clean to maintain its grip.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect from dust and potential scuffs. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can fade colors or degrade materials.
