FAQs
What type of occasions are these pumps best suited for?
These pumps are ideal for formal events, evening parties, weddings, galas, and any occasion requiring elegant and sophisticated footwear. Their design makes them a perfect complement to dresses, skirts, and tailored trousers.
How should I care for the patent-effect leather?
Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Store them in their dust bags away from heat and direct sunlight. For persistent marks, seek professional advice.
What is the heel height of these pumps?
The heel height is 10 cm (approximately 3.9 inches).
Are these pumps made of genuine leather?
Yes, the pumps are made from 100% calf leather for the upper, inner, and insole, with a 100% leather sole.
Can I wear these pumps for extended periods?
While made with quality materials, the 10 cm heel height and pointed toe may require accustomed wear for comfort. They are best suited for occasions where prolonged standing or walking is limited.
How do I ensure the right fit with the ankle buckle?
The ankle buckle allows for an adjustable fit. Fasten it securely but comfortably to ensure stability without restricting circulation.
Are the Rockstuds durable?
The Rockstuds are securely attached, but like any embellishment, they require care. Periodically check for looseness and consult a professional for any necessary repairs.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort due to heel height
Wear the pumps for short periods initially to gradually build tolerance. Consider using cushioned insoles or heel grips designed for high heels. Ensure the ankle strap is securely fastened for better support.
Scuffs or marks on the patent-effect finish
Attempt to gently buff out minor scuffs with a soft, microfiber cloth. For more persistent marks, consult a professional shoe repair specialist experienced with patent leather.
Ankle strap feels too tight or too loose
Utilize the adjustable buckle to find the most comfortable and secure fit. If the strap length is fundamentally an issue, a cobbler may be able to add or adjust buckle holes.
Leather creasing on the upper
Natural leather will crease with wear. Ensure the shoes are stored properly on shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use. Regular conditioning of the leather can help minimize the appearance of creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
