FAQs
What material are these shoes made from?
These shoes are crafted from elegant black satin, providing a luxurious finish and feel.
What is the heel height?
The stiletto heel measures between 7-9cm, offering a sophisticated height suitable for special occasions.
Are these shoes comfortable for dancing?
Yes, the managed heel height (7-9cm) and the secure elasticated sling-back design are intended to provide comfort and stability, allowing for dancing into the evening without compromising on glamour.
How should I clean the satin material?
Satin requires delicate care. For best results, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For minor marks, use a barely damp cloth (water only) and blot dry immediately. Avoid rubbing or harsh cleaning agents, and consider professional cleaning for stubborn stains.
What kind of occasions are these shoes suitable for?
These court shoes are perfect for a variety of special occasions, including weddings, race day events, evening soirees, and other formal gatherings where refined elegance is desired.
Will the pointed toe be comfortable?
The pointed toe provides a timeless, leg-lengthening effect. For optimal comfort, ensure you select the correct size. If you have wider feet, you might consider trying them on beforehand or using shoe stretchers.
Is the sling-back adjustable?
The sling-back strap features an elasticated design for a secure and adaptive fit, rather than a traditional adjustable buckle. This helps ensure comfort and prevents slippage.
Troubleshooting
Sling-back strap feels too loose or too tight.
The sling-back is elasticated to provide a flexible fit. If it feels too loose, your foot might be slipping forward too much; consider adding a discreet gel pad in the ball of the foot area. If too tight, gently stretch the elastic manually a few times, but avoid overstretching to maintain integrity.
Satin fabric appears dull or has minor marks.
For dullness, a gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth can often restore luster. For minor marks, *lightly dab* with a barely damp cloth (water only) and blot dry immediately. Avoid rubbing, which can damage the satin weave.
Foot discomfort, especially around the pointed toe.
Ensure the shoes are the correct size. For slight discomfort, consider using shoe stretchers specifically designed for pointed toes or wearing them with thin socks around the house to gently break them in. Cushioned inserts for the ball of the foot can also help.
Heel feels wobbly or has a clicking sound.
This usually indicates a worn-down heel tip. Replace the heel tips immediately to prevent further damage to the stiletto and ensure stable walking. Most shoe repair shops can do this quickly and affordably.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Wear

Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning Satin: Due to the delicate nature of satin, avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- For minor dust or surface dirt, gently wipe with a clean, *soft, dry cloth*.
- For small marks, lightly dab with a *damp cloth* (water only) and blot dry immediately. Do not rub vigorously.
- For stubborn stains, it is recommended to consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in delicate fabrics.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original dust bag (if provided) or a soft cloth bag to protect the satin from dust and snags. Avoid direct sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for delicate fabrics to help repel water and stains, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Heel Tips: Regularly check the heel tips for wear. Replace worn-down tips promptly to maintain stability and prevent damage to the stiletto heel itself.
