Tips and tricks to care for your shoes
Your shoes have been made with the finest materials by our skilled artisans. We put our hearts into each pair, and we hope you feel it in every step you take. Here are the ways to keep your shoes in tip-top conditions.
Before your wedding day
Tip #1: Plastic Lining
Our shoes come with a layer of protective film on the outer sole. Be sure to remove the the liner before you wear them.
Note: Please only remove the liner if you're keeping the shoes.
Tip #2: Breaking in your shoes
Wear the shoes around the house before the event. If your shoes need a bit of stretching, wear them with thick socks.
Tip #3: The perfect fit
- Fits big: If your shoes fit slightly big (the gap is less than a finger), you can fill the gap with insole insert and heel liner. Note: You don't want your shoes to fit too snugly because your feet will swell by the end of the night.
- Fits small: If your shoes fit slightly small but it's not painful, wear thick socks to stretch and break in the shoes.
- Slingback slides down: Add a heel liner in the toe are and fashion tape on the slingback itself to feel more secure.
Tip #4: Shoe Care
Silk
Your shoes are covered by a layer of genuine silk which gives it that luxurious look and smooth finish. We recommend that you avoid water or wet surfaces as it can cause damage. You can spray a water and stain repellent that is safe and gentle for silk.
Crystals
We don't recommend pairing tulle dress with crystal shoes that have prongs. If you really love crystal shoes, we recommend our new crystal shoes styles that are made with snag-free crystals. If the style you love have crystal prongs, here's a tip we recommend to prevent snagging:
Apply a few coats of clear nail polish over the prongs that hold the crystals to prevent the prongs from catching onto delicate fabric.
Leather
The soles are made from smooth, delicate and genuine leather. We do not recommend to walk on any wet surfaces as this may cause water damage to the sole. You can add a sole grip at the bottom to protect the soles.
After your wedding day:
Tip #5: Cleaning
In case your shoes get dirty, the first thing to do is to remove any loose dirt. Be careful not to rub any dirt into the material. For silk shoes, spot clean soiled areas using a soft toothbrush and water diluted in gentle soap detergent. Use a gentle circling motion to tackle stubborn marks. Ensure to dry them off with a clean cloth and air dry to prevent water marks.
For minor scuffs, you can use a microfiber cloth to buff them out
Tip #6: Crystal Care
All our embellished shoes are hand-beaded. Periodically check for loose metal prongs to make sure they are holding the crystals intact. Press down or tighten the prongs around the crystals.
Tip #7: Storage
Always store your shoes in a dry place away from direct sunlight. To preserve the shape of the shoes, use unbleached and dye-free paper stuffing to help them keep their shape for a long time.
