How should I clean the leather upper?
Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically use a leather conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness.
What is the main benefit of the low-profile shape?
The low-profile shape, derived from motorsport shoes, offers an agile feel and a sleek aesthetic.
What makes the powder pink colorway stand out?

Can these pumps be worn in wet weather?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear.
Leather will naturally soften with wear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in gradually.
Scuff marks on the leather.
For minor scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or a specialized scuff remover. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Discoloration from water exposure.
Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and color. For significant water damage, professional cleaning may be necessary.
