Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these pumps feature a leather upper, they do not require a complex break-in period; however, wearing them indoors for short durations initially can help mold the leather to your specific foot shape. To keep them in optimal condition, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the shine, use a leather-appropriate conditioning cream periodically. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or acid-free tissue paper to help the pump retain its tapered shape.
