HOW TO WEAR HEELS ALL DAY (WITHOUT THE DISCOMFORT)

  • Let them break in. The leather and fabric soften and mould to your foot with wear, snugger at first, better after a few wears.
  • Buckle the ankle strap snug. Too loose and your foot slides forward with every step, which is what causes discomfort by day's end.
  • Size down if you're between sizes. The material stretches slightly with wear, so a snugger start holds up better over a full day.
  • Stiletto tips are replaceable. A cobbler can swap a worn heel tip, so one worn point doesn't mean retiring the shoe.

Everything You Need to Know

What are these stiletto heels made from?

Goat leather uppers, a soft sheep leather lining, and a full leather outsole, with a sleek 8.5cm stiletto heel. Handcrafted in Kenya.

Can the heel tips be replaced?

Yes. The stiletto heel tip is a standard design that most professional cobblers can replace when it wears down.

How do I choose the right size?

These heels fit true to size, so start with your usual size. If you're between sizes, size down, since the leather softens and moulds to your foot with wear.

How do I order and what does delivery look like?

US customers: order online as usual. Free tracked shipping, dispatched within 1 business day, tariffs included, 30-day returns.

Kenya customers: contact us via WhatsApp or call 0757 769 919. Your heels are delivered so you can try them on first, and you only pay via M-Pesa once you're happy with the fit.

How do I care for my leather stiletto heels?

Brush off dust with a soft bristle brush, wipe marks with a damp cloth, and air dry away from heat or direct sun. Condition the leather occasionally and store with shoe trees.

BLOCK HEEL vs CLASSIC HEEL: WHICH ONE DO YOU NEED?

Both collections share the same 8.5cm heel height, the same goat leather and artisan print fabric options, and the same handcrafted construction. The difference comes down to the heel shape, and the day you're dressing for.

  • Choose block heels if:

    • You're on your feet for most of the day (work, travel, a full day of events)
    • You want the height of a heel without trading away stability
    • You want something that works as easily for daytime as it does for evening

  • Choose stiletto heels if:

    • You want the most elegant, refined silhouette for a dressed-up occasion
    • You're dressing for something where you'll be seated or standing more than walking (weddings, dinners, formal evenings)
    • You already have block heels covered and want something to complete an occasion wardrobe
