How high is the heel on the Rubie 85?

The heel is 85 mm, roughly 3.3 inches. That is a mid-height block heel, noticeably lower than a 100 mm stiletto but higher than a low kitten heel.

Is the Rubie 85 comfortable for a full day?

It is a dressy slide, not a walking shoe. The block heel helps with balance, but the single strap gives limited hold, so it suits events and dinners better than long days on your feet.

How does it compare with a strappy stiletto sandal?

The block heel is more stable and easier on uneven ground, and the slide shape is simpler to wear. A strappy sandal with an ankle strap holds the foot more securely.

What size should I order?

Stuart Weitzman sandals generally run true to size for medium-width feet. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, consider sizing up, since the single strap offers no adjustment.

Can I wear the Rubie 85 to a wedding?

Yes. The minimal leather slide and block heel suit guest and evening dress codes. For outdoor ceremonies on grass, the block heel is a safer choice than a thin stiletto.

Does the slide stay on the foot?

The strap sits across the top of the foot and holds it in place for normal walking. It is not an ankle-strap sandal, so it can shift if you walk fast or on slopes.

About the Stuart Weitzman Rubie 85 Slide Sandals

The Rubie 85 is a slip-on slide sandal from Stuart Weitzman with a slim strap over the foot and an 85 mm (about 3.3-inch) block heel. It is a dressy warm-weather shoe built for weddings, dinners and events where you want height without a stiletto. Against strappy stilettos it trades stability for a wider heel base, but the single-strap slide offers less foot hold than a two-band or ankle-strap sandal. It suits shoppers who want a clean, minimal heel they can walk in for a few hours.
