Questions Relating to Shoes & Boots:
What is the difference between Patent, PU, Stretch and Leather material?
Patent, either patent leather or patent pu, the latter being a man made material, has a very shiny, almost mirror like appearance. Pu, short for polyurethane, is a semi-shiny to non-shiny man made material designed to be less expensive than leather. Stretch, either patent or pu, is a thin, stretchable material, which allows it to fit to the contours of the feet or legs. Leather, usually having a supple and comfortable feel and with a texture pattern, is the highest quality.
How do you convert a man’s shoes size to a lady’s shoes size?
Shoes fit differently. Our best rule of thumb is a two-size increase. A man’s 9 convert’s to a woman’s 11. Please check our conversion chart for more information.
How can I remove glue marks on the shoes?
Use lighter fluid. Ordinary lighter fluid applied to a white rag will remover the glue. You can also use glue thinner which can be purchased from any shoe repair shop.
How can I clean a shoe in patent material that has collected dust?
Use Patent Glow, which is one of the accessory items we sell. Do NOT use water or alcohol as they may rid the material of its shininess.
