Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
Simply unbox your Araceli pumps and they are ready to wear. For the first few wears, it's advisable to wear them for shorter periods to allow them to conform to your foot shape comfortably.
Compatibility
- Wardrobe: These pumps are highly compatible with a diverse range of outfits, from dressy casual (e.g., jeans, leggings, skinny jeans) to more polished ensembles (e.g., skirts, dresses, tailored trousers). The red suede provides a statement, so consider complementary or contrasting colors in your outfit.
- Footwear Accessories: Can be worn with thin socks or hosiery if desired, though often designed for bare feet or very thin hosiery.
Product Care
The suede material of your Araceli pumps requires specific care to maintain its appearance and longevity.
- Water Protection: Before first wear, and periodically thereafter, apply a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dust and dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.
- Stain Removal: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Moisture: Keep suede away from rain and heavy moisture. If they do get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Do not force dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect the suede from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid crushing them, which can flatten the nap.
