Troubleshooting
Calf hair appears matted or flat
Gently brush the calf hair with a soft, dry brush in the direction of the hair growth to restore its texture and loft.
Scuff marks on leather trim or sole
For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather conditioner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten
Ensure the buckle and strap are free of debris. If the issue persists, the mechanism may require professional attention.
Discomfort due to pointed toe
Wear for shorter periods initially to allow the shoes to break in. Consider using padded insoles or heel grips for added comfort. If discomfort is significant, this style may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Compatibility: These pumps are designed for adult women's footwear. They pair well with a variety of outfits, from formal dresses and skirts to smart trousers and designer denim.
Care Instructions:
- Calf Hair: Avoid exposing the calf hair to excessive moisture, heat, or abrasive surfaces. Clean gently with a soft, dry brush to maintain the texture and remove dust. For stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in exotic materials. Do not use water or harsh chemicals.
- Leather Trim and Lining: Wipe clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Condition the leather periodically with a suitable leather conditioner to prevent drying.
- Sole: The leather sole can be treated with protective sprays to guard against water and stains. It may benefit from resoling by a cobbler as wear occurs.
- Storage: Store the pumps in the provided dust bag and shoe box when not in use to protect them from dust, scratches, and potential damage. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
