Initial Setup & Break-in: While designed for comfort, new leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear your Fawna Lily flats for brief periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Compatibility: These ballet flats are highly versatile, pairing well with a range of styles including business casual attire (trousers, blouses), smart casual outfits (midi skirts, tailored shorts), and everyday wear (jeans, summer dresses). Care & Maintenance: To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather flats: 1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for footwear. 2. Conditioning: Regularly apply a good quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. 3. Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially if worn outdoors frequently. 4. Storage: Store your flats in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape when not in use.
