Lace Up Round Toe Platform Shoes — Fit, Materials, Care & Styling

How to measure (for the best fit)

1. Wear the socks you plan to use with the shoes.
2. Place a sheet of paper on a flat floor against a wall. Stand with your heel lightly touching the wall and your full weight on the foot you are measuring.
3. Mark the longest point of your foot (usually the big toe or second toe) on the paper. Measure from the wall (heel) to that mark. Record in centimetres and inches.
4. Measure both feet and use the larger measurement. Feet often differ by a few millimetres.
5. Measure width at the widest part of the forefoot (the ball). This helps with selecting wide/narrow fits.
6. Allow a small comfort allowance: for lace-up platform shoes we recommend adding 0.5–1.0 cm (5–10 mm) to your foot length depending on how roomy you prefer the fit (0.5 cm for snug/true-to-size, 1.0 cm for roomier or thicker socks).
7. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, choose the larger size or consult the product size chart for specific last/width notes.

How to measure the shoe (if checking a sample)

• Insole length: insert a ruler inside the shoe from the inside back of the heel to the inside tip of the toe box.
• Heel height: measure from the bottom of the heel to the point where the heel meets the upper (outside measurement).
• Platform height: measure from the bottom of the sole to the top of the sole at the toe area (front platform).
• Toe box width: measure across the widest inside part of the toe box.
• Note: list measurements with “approx.” and allow ±0.5 cm manufacturing tolerance.

Quick reference (approximate)

Typical heel height (this style)

Approx. 7 cm / 2.8 in (varies by model)

Typical platform height

Approx. 3–4 cm / 1.2–1.6 in

Sizing tip

Measure foot length and add 0.5–1.0 cm for comfort, then compare to the product size chart.

Materials — what they mean and what to expect

Below are common materials used for lace-up round-toe platform shoes and their characteristics. Check the product listing or inner label for the exact materials used on this pair.

• Upper
  • PU / Vegan leather: durable, water-resistant, easy to wipe clean; less breathable than natural leather.
  • Genuine leather: molds to the foot with wear and can be conditioned; requires occasional care to stay supple and water-resistant.
  • Suede / Nubuck: soft, matte finish; delicate — needs suede care (brushes/protective spray) and is more sensitive to water.
  • Canvas / Textile: breathable and casual, often lighter but may stain more easily and take longer to dry.
• Lining — commonly textile, microfiber or leather. Textile/microfiber increases breathability; leather linings feel premium and age well.
• Insole — memory-foam or cushioned textile for comfort; some insoles are removable for custom orthotics.
• Outsole — rubber or TPR (thermoplastic rubber) for grip and durability; harder compounds last longer but may be heavier.
• Laces & Hardware — cotton/poly-blend or polyester laces; metal or reinforced eyelets for longevity.

Model & fit information

Model details shown for reference:

• Model height: 175 cm (5'9")
• Model is wearing: EU 38 (approx. US 7–7.5)
• Fit note: this style typically fits true to size. If you have wide feet or plan to wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.
• Sample shoe measurements (example): heel ≈ 7 cm / 2.8 in; platform ≈ 3.5 cm / 1.4 in. Measurements vary by size and color.

Care guide — to keep them lovely longer

General rules:

• Before first wear: apply a protective spray suitable for the shoe material (water-repellent for leather/suede/canvas).
• After wear: wipe off dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth; allow shoes to air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Storage: use shoe trees or stuff the toe with tissue to keep shape; store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; use dust bags for long-term storage.

Material-specific care

• Genuine leather: wipe with a damp cloth, use a leather cleaner for stains, then condition with a leather conditioner. Reapply water-repellent when needed.
• PU / synthetic: clean with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid strong solvents. Do not over-condition (synthetics don’t absorb conditioners like leather).
• Suede / nubuck: brush with a suede brush to lift nap; treat stains with a suede eraser; protect with a suitable spray and avoid heavy rain.
• Canvas / textile: spot clean with a mild detergent and brush; remove excess water and air-dry. Avoid machine washing unless manufacturer permits.
• Outsole & rubber: scrub gently with a soft brush and mild soap; rinse and air-dry.
• Laces & removable insoles: hand wash laces and removable insoles with mild soap; air-dry completely before reinserting.

Repair & maintenance tips

• Replace heel tips before they wear down to the sole to avoid damage to the heel block.
• Resoling and professional repair can extend the life of quality shoes — consult a cobbler for high-wear situations.
• Use non-abrasive cleaners and always test a small hidden area first.

Style tips

• Everyday casual: pair with cropped straight jeans or skinny jeans — the platform adds height while keeping the silhouette balanced.
• Feminine contrast: team with a midi skirt or floral dress to mix a chunky base with a softer top.
• Office smart-casual: pair with tailored ankle-length trousers or a structured skirt and a blazer for a contemporary, comfortable work look.
• Edgy/street style: wear with wide-leg pants, oversized outerwear or a leather jacket and patterned socks for layered texture.
• Seasonal notes: in cooler months wear with opaque tights or textured socks; in warmer months go bare or with low-cut socks to keep the look light.
• Color & detail tips: switch laces to contrast or match the outfit; polished hardware (metal eyelets) pairs well with minimal accessories.
• Proportions: platforms add height without a steep pitch — balance with cropped hems or tuck-forward trousers to show the shoe shape.

Measurements and materials can vary by color and production batch. For exact material composition, size conversions or precise measurements for a particular listing, please consult the product's specification panel or label.
