Size Guide & Fit Information

⚠️ Important Note: These flats run small—we recommend sizing up from your typical US shoe size for optimal comfort and proper buckle strap adjustment.

Measurement Tips: Place your foot on a flat surface and measure from your longest toe to your heel. Compare your measurement to the foot length column above. Given the “runs small” nature of this style, consider ordering one size up from your standard sizing.

Care & Maintenance

To preserve the pristine look and longevity of your Mary Jane flats:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the vegan leather surface with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and debris
• Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; dry immediately with a soft towel
• Buckle Care: Periodically polish the silver-toned hardware with a soft cloth to maintain its metallic sheen
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material degradation
• Weather Protection: While vegan leather is durable, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme moisture
• Sole Maintenance: Inspect the flat sole regularly and replace worn insoles if needed for continued comfort
