Here’s why three styles of $1,000 women’s high-heeled sandals have been recalled
You’d expect high-heeled sandals retailing from $920 to $1,080 to be so well made that they wouldn’t break. Apparently, that’s not the case with the sandals from Khaite’s Spring Summer 2024, which were recalled on Thursday.
“The heels on the shoes can detach, posing a fall hazard,” the recall alert from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission explains.
The alert says Khaite doesn’t know of any falls yet.
This covers three styles.
▪ Linden Sandal: Model Nos. F3047-780-580, a Scarlet Red patent leather sandal; F3047-790-905, a Khaki leather sandal; F3047-783-170, a Warm White leather sandal; F3047-803-121, a Natural (faux snake skin) novelty material sandal; and F3047-808-362, a Sapphire novelty material sandal.
▪ Louisa Strappy Sandal: Model Nos. F3053-726-826, a Violet suede sandal; F3052-809-200, a Black leather sandal; and F3053-809-100, a White leather sandal.
▪ Seigel Heel Sandal: Model Nos. F3057-726-200, a Black suede sandal, and F3057-803-121, a Natural (faux snake skin) novelty material sandal.
The footwear was sold from October 2022 through this July at stores including Bergdorf-Goodman, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as Khaite’s Mercer Street store in New York. They were also sold through various online outlets.
