How should I clean the lace bow detail?

What occasions are these pumps best suited for?
These pumps are highly versatile and suitable for smart-casual events, everyday wear, office environments, and social gatherings where comfort and style are desired.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them around the house for short periods to allow the fleece lining to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct width fitting for your foot type.
Shoes feel loose at the heel
Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor looseness, a heel grip insert or a thin insole can sometimes improve the fit. The slip-on nature requires a snug fit.
Material shows scuffs or marks
Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks on synthetic material, consult a shoe care specialist for appropriate cleaning products.

Care: To maintain the appearance and condition of your Gabor Dulford ballet pumps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper and sole with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the material to crack or warp.
- Storage: Store the pumps in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. It is recommended to store them in a shoe bag to protect them from dust and scratches.
