Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup

Compatibility
These shoes are designed for versatile compatibility with various outfits and occasions:
- Attire: Best paired with smart-casual, business-casual, and relaxed everyday wear. They complement trousers, skirts, dresses, and jeans.
- Seasons: Suitable for spring, summer, and autumn wear. While leather offers some protection, they are not designed for heavy rain or snow.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Loreleigh Rae shoes:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains before first wear.
- Cleaning:
- For light dust or dirt, wipe the shoes with a soft, dry cloth.
- For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the leather. Avoid saturating the material.
- For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather, following the product's instructions.
- Conditioning: Periodically (every few months, or as needed) apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Apply a small amount with a soft cloth, let it absorb, and then buff gently.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can dry out and damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with tissue paper when not in use can help maintain their original shape and prevent creasing.
- Sole Care: Regularly check the grippy sole for debris and clean as needed to maintain optimal traction.
