To use these pumps, simply slip your feet in through the elasticized topline. They're great for both casual outings and more formal events. When wearing them, make sure to walk at a normal pace as the 1' heel gives good stability. For maintenance, keep them away from sharp objects to avoid scratching the suede. If they get dirty, use a soft brush to gently clean the surface. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box to keep their shape. And don't forget to take breaks if you're wearing them for a long time to keep your feet comfortable.
