FAQs
How often should I clean the suede?
It depends on how often you wear them and the conditions. For regular wear, a quick brush-off after each use can help. Deeper cleaning with a suede brush and eraser should be done as needed, typically every few weeks or when stains appear.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their lightweight curvy wedge soles and breathable leather sock and lining, they are designed for everyday comfort and suitable for extended wear.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While a suede protector can offer some resistance, suede is generally not ideal for heavy rain. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the material and affect its appearance. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
What does TPR outsole mean?
TPR stands for Thermoplastic Rubber. It's a material known for its good flexibility, grip, and durability, making it an excellent choice for shoe outsoles.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, the chunky eyelet lacing is standard, and you can replace them with similar style laces if desired. Ensure the replacement laces are of an appropriate length and thickness to match the eyelets.
How does the 30mm heel height feel?
The 30mm heel height provides a subtle lift that generally enhances comfort by slightly altering foot posture without feeling like a high heel. Combined with the wedge design, it offers stable support.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or matted.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in consistent, small strokes in one direction.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure the lacing is not too tight. The breathable leather lining might need a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct UK size.
Stains on suede material.
For fresh stains, gently blot with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser to lightly rub the affected area, then brush. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.
Outsole loses grip in certain conditions.
While the TPR outsole is grippy, certain wet or slippery surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that could reduce traction. Avoid wearing in extremely icy conditions.

Care Instructions (Suede Material):
Maintaining the beauty of your Leopard Suede shoes requires specific care:
- Protection: Before first wear, apply a suede protector spray. This helps repel water and stains.
- Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. If your shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat, then brush.
- Stains: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For dried stains, a suede brush and eraser might help, or consider a specialized suede cleaner.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
General Shoe Care:
- Allow shoes to air out after wear to prevent moisture build-up.
- Avoid excessive exposure to harsh weather conditions, especially heavy rain or snow, due to the suede material.
- Periodically check the TPR outsole for any embedded debris that could affect grip.
