How to measure

Follow these simple steps to get the best fit for your Round Toe Platform Athletic shoes. Measure in centimeters (cm) or inches and always use the larger measurement if your feet differ.

1. Prepare: Wear the socks you plan to wear with the shoes. Stand on a hard, flat surface with your heel against a wall or straight edge.
2. Foot length (heel to longest toe): Place a sheet of paper under your foot, mark the heel and the tip of your longest toe. Measure the distance between the two marks. Repeat for both feet and use the longer measurement.
3. Foot width: Measure the widest part of your foot (the ball area) by wrapping a flexible tape measure around it or by tracing the foot and measuring across the widest point. This helps determine narrow/regular/wide fit.
4. Arch (heel to ball): Measure from the back of the heel to the ball-of-foot crease (where your foot bends). This tells you where the shoe should flex relative to your foot.
5. Insole length (if checking an existing shoe): Remove the insole and measure it from heel to toe. Compare that length to your foot length; allow roughly 0.5–1 cm (≈1/4 inch) of extra room for comfort.
6. Platform height: Place the shoe on a flat surface and measure from the ground to the highest point of the midsole/heel. Platforms typically add height and can slightly change how the shoe feels underfoot.
7. Final fit tip: Match your largest foot measurement to the product size chart. If you are between sizes or plan to wear thick socks, consider sizing up.

• Measure at the end of the day when feet are naturally a bit larger.
• Measure both feet — many people have a size difference; always fit to the larger foot.
• If you use orthotics, measure with them in place or confirm the shoe has a removable insole.

Materials & construction

Materials can vary by color and production batch. Below are the typical components and what they do for comfort, durability, and appearance.

• Upper: Breathable engineered knit or lightweight synthetic leather—offers flexibility, breathability, and easy maintenance.
• Lining: Moisture-wicking mesh or soft textile for comfort and to reduce friction.
• Insole: Cushioned EVA or memory-foam-like removable insole for immediate comfort and shock absorption.
• Midsole / Platform: Lightweight EVA or foam midsole that creates the platform lift while keeping weight down and providing cushioning.
• Outsole: Durable rubber with a traction pattern for grip on everyday surfaces.
• Trims & hardware: Polyester laces, TPU reinforcements or heel counters, and durable stitching/adhesive for longevity.
• Note: Some versions may use recycled materials, water-based glues or alternative textiles—check the product label or specification panel for exact composition.

Model & fit information

About this silhouette:

• Design: Round toe, lace-up athletic silhouette with an elevated platform sole for a sporty yet elevated look.
• Fit: Designed for everyday comfort—typically true to size for most feet. The round toe provides roomy forefoot space; however the platform sole can change foot feel slightly compared to a flat sole.
• Support: Moderate arch support with a cushioned midsole; removable insole accommodates custom orthotics.
• Break-in: Minimal break-in required for knit and synthetic versions; leather variants may soften after a few wears.
• Use: Ideal for casual wear, walking and light activity—this style is not intended as a performance running shoe.

Fit suggestions: if you have particularly wide feet or plan to wear thick socks, consider moving up half a size or choosing a wide option if offered.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

Regular care will prolong appearance and performance. Always check any care labels or manufacturer instructions first.

1. Daily maintenance: After each wear, knock off loose dirt and let shoes air out. Remove insoles and laces to dry separately if damp.
2. Spot cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Wipe gently and rinse with a damp cloth.
3. Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat (dryers, radiators) — heat can warp midsoles, glue and synthetic materials.
4. Protection: Apply a suitable water-repellent spray for textiles or a protective conditioner for leather variants—test on a hidden area first.
5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to keep shape.

Care by material

• Mesh / knit uppers: Brush off debris, spot clean with mild soap and water, air dry. Avoid machine washing unless the manufacturer explicitly allows it.
• Synthetic leather: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth. Avoid strong solvents.
• Suede / nubuck: Use a suede brush and rubber eraser for stains; protect with a suede protector spray. Do not saturate with water.
• Rubber outsoles & platform: Scrub with a soft brush and soapy water; rinse and dry. For stubborn marks, a pencil eraser or a soft scrub sponge works well.
• Insoles & laces: Hand-wash with mild detergent and air dry completely before reinserting.

Do's & Don'ts

• Do air shoes after use and rotate pairs to extend life.
• Do treat stains promptly.
• Do use products formulated for the specific material (leather conditioner, suede protector, textile spray).
• Don't machine dry, bleach, or use harsh chemicals.
• Don't store in hot, humid or sun-exposed places — materials can discolor or delaminate.

Style tips

Ways to wear the Round Toe Platform Athletic and make the silhouette work with different looks:

• Casual everyday: Slim or straight jeans rolled at the ankle with a tee or crewneck sweatshirt for a clean, sporty look.
• Athleisure: Pair with leggings or bike shorts and an oversized hoodie or bomber jacket for a modern, comfortable outfit.
• Street-style: Try with wide-leg cargo pants or cropped joggers and visible crew socks for an on-trend, urban vibe.
• Feminine contrast: Balance the chunky platform with a midi skirt or floral dress—creates an interesting, fashionable juxtaposition.
• Smart-casual: Tuck tapered trousers into low socks and add a structured blazer to dress up the sporty sole for a relaxed office look.
• Detailing: Swap laces for contrasting colors, or pick no-show socks for a sleeker appearance; match small accessories to shoe accents for a cohesive look.

Tip: Neutral colorways are versatile; bold colors or metallic trims serve as statement pieces—let the shoe be the focal point of a pared-back outfit.
