Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your new shoes is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging.
- Adjust Ankle Strap: Before wearing, sit down and buckle the ankle strap. Ensure it is snug but not too tight, allowing comfortable movement without restricting circulation. The adjustable buckle allows for a personalized fit.
- Initial Wear: Wear them around the house for a short period to break them in and ensure optimal comfort before a long event.
Compatibility
These court shoes are designed for formal and semi-formal occasions. They pair beautifully with:
- Dresses: Especially midi or maxi dresses for weddings, galas, or evening events.
- Skirts: Pencil skirts or A-line skirts for a sophisticated office party or dinner.
- Tailored Trousers: To elevate a smart casual or business formal ensemble for events like race days or professional gatherings.
- Colour Palette: Their gold glitter finish makes them an excellent accent piece for a wide range of colours, from classic black and navy to jewel tones and pastels.
Care
Proper care will preserve the glitter and faux leather finish:
- Gently wipe the faux leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt.
- For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution (e.g., a drop of dish soap in water) on a cloth, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
- Pat dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not soak.
- The glitter finish requires delicate handling. Use a very soft brush (like a clean, soft toothbrush or a dry cloth) to gently brush off any loose dust or dirt.
- Avoid rubbing vigorously, as this can dislodge glitter particles.
- Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the glitter.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe bags to protect them from dust and prevent the glitter from rubbing against other items. Stuff them with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Moisture: Try to keep the shoes dry. If they get wet, dab them gently with a clean cloth and allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Protect the Heel: Be mindful of rough surfaces that could scuff or damage the block heel.
