FAQs
How do I choose the correct size for these pumps?
These pumps are available in standard UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider reviewing a general shoe sizing chart for guidance. This specific model is a standard fit; however, other Araceli variants may be available in wide fit.
Are these pumps suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Araceli Block Heel Mary Jane Pumps feature a comfortable block heel designed to provide stability and support, making them suitable for extended periods of wear. The adjustable strap also contributes to a secure and comfortable fit throughout the day.
What is the best way to clean the faux leather material?
To clean the faux leather, wipe the surface with a soft cloth lightly dampened with water. For light marks, a very mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and allowing to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
Can I wear these pumps in wet weather?
While the faux leather offers some resistance, these pumps are not designed to be waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to protect the material and maintain their appearance. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What kind of outfits are these pumps compatible with?
These versatile pumps can be paired with a wide range of outfits. They are perfect for professional office attire, elegant evening wear such as dresses or skirts, and can also elevate a smart casual look like tailored trousers or jumpsuits. Their classic black design ensures broad compatibility.
Does the strap prevent the shoe from slipping off?
Yes, the adjustable Mary Jane strap is designed to provide a secure fit across the instep, helping to keep the pump firmly on your foot and preventing it from slipping off during wear. Adjust it to your comfort for the best results.
Troubleshooting
The strap feels too loose or too tight.
The Mary Jane strap features an adjustable buckle closure. Try adjusting the strap to a different hole to achieve a more comfortable and secure fit. It should hold your foot firmly without causing pressure points.
My feet feel uncomfortable after extended wear.
While designed for comfort, new shoes may require a breaking-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially. Consider using thin insoles for extra cushioning or moisture-wicking properties, especially if you plan to wear them all day.
The faux leather appears dull or has minor scuffs.
Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a specialized faux leather cleaner or polish (ensure it's suitable for black faux leather) can help restore the finish. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first.
I hear a squeaking sound when I walk.
Squeaking can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe's structure. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insole if it's removable. If not, the sound might come from the outsole; ensure it's clean and dry.
My foot slips around inside the pump.
Ensure the adjustable strap is securely fastened. If your foot still slips, consider using non-slip heel grips or forefoot cushions. These can improve the fit and provide extra grip inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove your new Araceli Block Heel Mary Jane Pumps from their packaging.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning Faux Leather: To clean, wipe the faux leather surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the pumps to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the material.
- Storage: Store your pumps in a cool, dry place, ideally in shoe bags or their original box, to protect them from dust and scuffs. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape if desired.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: While designed for daily wear, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or moisture should be avoided to preserve the integrity of the faux leather.
