GENERAL
Do you have any tips for first-time buyers?
- Wearing platforms comes with its own challenges compared to typical thin sole shoes, so be aware of common mistakes:
* When bending down, try to squat and keep your heels on the ground. Do not stand on the ball of your foot as you naturally would. Platforms don't flex like sneaker soles, so the stress of this repeated action may result in the heel separating from the platform.
* Unzip or unlace your shoes fully when taking them off. You do not want to use overt force when you put on/take off your shoes, as you can split the zipper doing this.
* If the zipper of your new pair is hard to pull, try rubbing a wax candle (or bar soap) on the zipper teeth while undone, this can help to lubricate the zipper and help it break in smoothly.
* Please be careful. We recommend against driving and traversing wet/icy floors while wearing platforms.
Are your shoes in men's or women's sizes?
- Most of our shoes are in US women's size. When you view a product, it will say "Men's size.." or "Women's size..." on the page.
Are your shoes in US or UK sizes?
- Our shoes are always displayed in US sizes. You can convert them with our size chart.
What does "faux leather" mean?
- Pronounced "foe", faux leather means non-animal based leather.
How do you convert between men's and women's?
- The difference is 2 sizes. A men's 10 is a women's 12 and a women's 10 is a men's 8.
