Do these run true to size?
Yes, these run true to size. KOI does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, size up for a more comfortable fit.
Are these comfortable, and do they suit wider feet?
The chunky block heel and 2-inch platform work together, so the 4-inch heel feels closer to 2 inches underfoot and the wide sole keeps you steady for a full night out. If you have wide feet, size up one full size.
What should I know before wearing the Grasping Hand Mary Janes for the first time?
The size on the box will be in UK sizing. KOI is a UK brand and the US size you selected on Shoefreaks.ca has been converted to the correct UK equivalent. Lace them to a snug fit across the instep, then fasten the hand strap so your heel sits firmly in the shoe. Wear them around the house for 30 to 60 minutes before your first outing to let the upper soften.
Who is this style designed for?
This style is made for dark academia dressers, horror manga fans and Junji Ito collectors who want a platform Mary Jane for conventions, gig nights, themed events and everyday alternative outfits.
Is this style vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?
Yes, this style is fully vegan. The upper and all materials are synthetic with no animal-derived leather, suede or glues. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, buff the hand hardware with a dry cloth, and store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. With regular care they hold up well through consistent use.
