Do these run true to size?
Yes, these run true to size. Pin Up Couture does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, go up.
How does the heel affect the wearability of this style?
The block heel or platform construction provides a stable base that distributes weight evenly. This makes the height more manageable and comfortable than a comparable single-sole stiletto.
Who is this style designed for?
Rockabilly and pinup fashion enthusiasts, retro brides and vintage style lovers who want a platform pump for swing dance nights, burlesque events, pinup photoshoots and occasions where the classic retro silhouette is the priority.
What should I know before wearing the Smitten-05 for the first time?
Wear them around the home first to let the upper soften and the platform settle. The block heel or platform construction is stable and most customers find these comfortable from early on. Wearing them with socks for the first few uses can help soften the material and reduce friction.
Is this style vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?
This style uses synthetic materials. Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each wear and store in a cool dry place between uses. With regular care the construction holds up well across events and regular vintage occasion wear.
What do customers say about this style?
Customers highlight the comfortable platform construction and the stable heel as the main positives. The retro detailing and overall quality are consistently praised. Most find the fit true to size and comfortable for extended event wear.
How much break-in is needed?
The PU upper softens with the first few wears and the heel settles quickly. Walk around the home first before wearing to events. Wearing them with socks for the first few uses can help soften the material and reduce friction.
How does the Smitten compare to other Pin Up Couture heels?
The Smitten features a platform sole that makes the heel height more manageable than the single-sole Flapper and Wiggle. It is a good option for those who want extra height without an extreme heel angle.
