Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your Araceli Mary Jane Pumps, your primary setup involves adjusting the strap for a comfortable and secure fit.
- Unbuckle the Strap: Gently open the buckle on the Mary Jane strap.
- Slide Foot In: Place your foot into the pump.

Care & Maintenance for Faux Suede
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your faux suede pumps:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or dust with a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush or soft toothbrush works well).
- Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water (or a specialized faux suede cleaner) and gently dab the affected area. Do not rub vigorously, as this can damage the material.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Water Saturation: Faux suede is not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, blot excess water with a towel and allow to air dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with faux suede materials. > Info needed: Specific recommended faux suede cleaner if applicable.
