Description

A T-strap wedge sandal with a beaded, multicolour trim running down the vamp in a boho medallion pattern, set on a wedge wrapped in a floral-print fabric rather than plain leather. An elasticated sling-back strap at the heel keeps the sandal secure without a buckle to fasten. The beads sit along the outer edge of the strap rather than against the skin, so the detailing stays purely decorative underfoot, and the elasticated strap stretches gently to fit as you slip your foot in rather than needing to be adjusted to an exact size. It's a genuine platform wedge, several centimetres of lift, which is generally more stable to walk in than a thin stiletto heel of the same height.

Composition & Care

Beaded strap trim over a fabric-wrapped wedge sole with a woven linen-textured platform and an elasticated sling-back strap. Wipe the beaded trim carefully with a dry cloth, avoiding water which can loosen the bead stitching, and keep the fabric-wrapped wedge away from heavy rain, since the print fabric can absorb moisture and stain. Spot-clean only, and check periodically that the bead stitching hasn't loosened from flexing at the vamp, tightening any loose threads before they catch and pull further.

Delivery & Returns

Free UK delivery. Returns accepted within 30 days if unworn and in the original box.

Sustainability

Wrapping the wedge in printed fabric rather than moulding it from a single dense material block gives the same platform height and structure using a lighter core underneath. The elasticated sling-back also means there's no buckle hardware to corrode or break, which is often the first point of failure on a hardware-fastened sandal.

People Also Ask

A few things worth knowing before you buy the Wedge Platform Retro Sandals — from fit and styling to care and delivery.

How high is the wedge?

It's a full platform wedge, several centimetres high — noticeably more lift than a flat sandal, but a wedge shape is generally more stable to walk in than a thin heel. The wide wedge base spreads your weight more evenly than a narrow heel post, which is part of why it feels steadier over the course of a day.

Does the beaded trim feel scratchy against the foot?

The beads sit along the outer edge of the strap rather than against the skin directly, so they're decorative rather than something you feel underfoot as you walk. That placement is also why the beading holds up well to normal wear, since it isn't taking direct pressure from the foot with each step.

Is the ankle strap adjustable?

The sling-back strap is elasticated rather than buckled, so it stretches gently to fit rather than being adjusted to an exact size — it self-adjusts as you slip your foot in. It's a convenient, grab-and-go fastening, though if you have a narrower heel you may find a buckled strap style holds slightly more securely.
