FAQs
What is faux leather?
Faux leather, also known as synthetic leather or vegan leather, is an artificial material designed to look and feel like real leather. It is typically made from a plastic base, such as polyurethane (PU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and offers a durable and ethical alternative to animal leather.
Are these pumps suitable for wide feet?
The Araceli Block Heel Mary Jane Pumps are designed for a standard adult female fit. If you have wide feet, you may find specific 'wide fit' variants of this model, if available, more comfortable. Otherwise, try stretching the faux leather gently with a shoe stretcher or wearing them with thick socks around the house to help them break in.
How do I determine my correct size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult the brand's sizing chart. If you are between sizes, it's often advisable to size up for pumps, especially if you plan to wear them for extended periods, though the adjustable strap can help fine-tune the fit.
Can I wear these pumps in the rain?
While faux leather offers some water resistance, these pumps are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided as it can damage the material and construction. If they get wet, gently blot dry with a cloth and allow them to air dry naturally.
Do the block heels provide good support?
Yes, the block heel design is specifically chosen for its enhanced stability and support compared to thinner heels like stilettos. This allows for more comfortable and confident walking, making them suitable for longer wear times.
How do I prevent scuffs on the white material?
Regular gentle cleaning is key. Additionally, consider applying a faux leather protector spray, which can create a barrier against minor abrasions and facilitate easier cleaning. Be mindful of rough surfaces and try to avoid accidental bumps.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the buckle on the Mary Jane strap. There are multiple holes to allow for a customized, secure, and comfortable fit. Experiment until you find the ideal snugness.
Pumps feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure the strap is not too tight, which can restrict circulation. Consider adding thin, cushioned insoles for extra comfort, especially if standing or walking for long periods. Also, ensure the size is correct; shoes that are too small or too large can cause discomfort.
White faux leather shows dirt or scuffs easily.
Regularly wipe the pumps with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water on the cloth, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Air dry. For light scuffs, a white rubber eraser can sometimes help.
Foot slips inside the shoe.
Tighten the adjustable strap to secure your foot more firmly. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size smaller, or adding a forefoot cushion or heel grip insert to take up excess space.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes come from the sole or inside the shoe. Try dusting baby powder under the insole (if removable) to reduce friction. If it's the sole on a particular surface, ensure the sole is clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Using your Araceli Block Heel Mary Jane Pumps is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove pumps from their packaging.
- Inspect: Check for any manufacturing imperfections or damage.
- Adjust Strap: Before putting them on, adjust the strap buckle to a comfortable setting. The strap should be snug enough to hold your foot securely without digging into your instep.

- Evening Wear: Elevate a cocktail dress or a smart jumpsuit for evening events or dinner parties.
- Color Coordination: The white faux leather acts as a neutral, easily matching with bold colors, pastels, or other neutrals.
Product Care
Proper care will prolong the life and appearance of your faux leather pumps:
- Cleaning: Wipe down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution (like diluted dish soap) on a cloth, then wipe with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage faux leather.
- Scuff Marks: For minor scuffs, a white rubber eraser can sometimes gently lift marks. For deeper scuffs, consult a shoe care specialist.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape. Keep them in a dust bag if possible.
- Water Exposure: While faux leather offers some resistance, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture should be avoided. If they get wet, blot dry with a towel and air dry.
