Casual Wear: Jeans, skirts, shorts, and oversized sweaters.

Maintaining the Felix Rub-Off material is straightforward:
Cleaning: Wipe down the shoes regularly with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the synthetic material.
Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the material to crack or deform.
Protection: While the Felix Rub-Off is durable, using Dr. Martens' specialized vegan-friendly shoe protector spray can offer an additional layer of defense against water and stains. Info needed: [Specific Dr. Martens vegan care product recommendations, if any].
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
