FAQs
What is Contour+ technology?
Contour+ is Naturalizer's proprietary comfort system that utilizes anatomical cushioning and flexible soles to provide a comfortable fit that moves with you.
Can I wear these for long walks?
Yes, they are designed for all-day comfort, though they are classified as fashion pumps rather than athletic walking shoes.
Do these shoes stretch over time?
As they are genuine leather, they will naturally soften and adapt to the shape of your feet after consistent wear.
How do I maintain the animal print finish?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or rough brushes. A simple damp cloth followed by a gentle buffing is usually sufficient.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The round toe design is quite accommodating, but if you have a wide foot, you may want to test your standard size to ensure the leather provides enough width.
Are these pumps machine washable?
No, leather shoes should never be submerged in water or put in a washing machine, as this will damage the leather and the structure of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the shoes with thin socks around the house for an hour a day to gradually loosen the leather fibers.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a matching leather cream or a neutral polish to buff out the surface marks gently.
Slipping at the heel while walking
Consider using adhesive heel grips to provide a more secure fit if the shoe feels slightly loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Break-in Period: While these shoes are designed for comfort, natural leather requires a short break-in period to soften and mold perfectly to your foot shape. Wear them indoors for short durations before full-day use.
- Size Compatibility: These shoes are available in standard UK sizing. Ensure you verify your fit as leather tends to stretch slightly with regular wear.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For more thorough cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth, then buff gently.
- Maintenance: Protect your pumps from prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud. Use a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
