Quick answer
For The Goldfinch Kitten Heel in Blush Patent Leather, we recommend ordering your usual shoe size. The hidden elastic in the slingback strap and the antimicrobial satin sock provide a secure, comfortable fit that molds to your foot over time.
Why patent leather sizing can be tricky
Patent leather has less give than matte leathers or suede. The Goldfinch Kitten Heel uses a soft patent with a subtle wrinkled texture that allows natural flex, so it adapts more than traditional patent. Still, if you are between sizes, sizing up half a size gives a little extra room in the toe box without compromising the slingback fit.
Adjusting the slingback strap
The slingback strap has hidden elastic, so it stretches slightly as you walk. When you first wear the heels, adjust the buckle to a snug but not tight setting. After a few wears, the elastic will relax, and you may need to tighten the strap one notch for the same secure feel.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I size up or down for The Goldfinch Kitten Heel in Blush Patent?
- Order your usual size. The soft patent and hidden elastic accommodate most feet. If you have wide feet or are between sizes, try half a size up for extra toe room.
- How do I break in patent leather kitten heels?
- Wear them around the house for short periods (30 minutes) to let the patent flex and the elastic adjust. Use a shoe stretcher or thick socks for gentle stretching if needed.
- Can I wear these heels all day?
- Yes. The 40mm heel and antimicrobial sock make them comfortable for extended wear. The slingback strap keeps your foot secure without pinching. If you plan to stand for hours, consider adding a gel pad to the ball of the foot for extra cushioning.
- How do I clean the blush patent leather?
- Wipe with a damp soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads. Store in the dust bag away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
