Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & Wearing
To wear your Lavinia Ballerinas, simply slide your foot in and adjust the three Mary Jane straps for a snug, yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are not too tight to prevent discomfort, but secure enough to keep your foot from slipping. The flat design means no breaking-in period for heel height, making them ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility
These ballerinas are highly versatile, complementing a wide range of casual to smart-casual attire:
- Outfits: Cropped jeans, tailored trousers, casual skirts, floral dresses, summer dresses, capris, and even some smart shorts.
- Occasions: Weekend brunches, garden parties, family gatherings, casual office days, shopping trips, city explorations, and relaxed social events.
- Styling: They work well with both minimalist and more ornate outfits, providing a balanced touch of modern elegance.
Care Instructions
To maintain the glossy appearance and longevity of your faux patent leather ballerinas:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the faux patent leather finish.
- Storage: Store your ballerinas in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme heat. Keep them in a dust bag or shoe box to prevent scuffs and scratches.
- Prevent Creasing: Stuff the toes with tissue paper when storing to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing, especially in the square toe area.
- Protect from Scuffs: Be mindful of rough surfaces. While faux patent leather is durable, sharp objects or abrasive rubbing can cause permanent scuffs.
