To use these Spring Step L'Artiste Libora loafers, simply slip your feet in. They're designed for everyday wear, whether you're going to work or out for a casual stroll. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dirt and dust regularly. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid getting the shoes wet for long periods as it might damage the hand - painted finish. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box to keep their shape. Remember, these shoes are made with natural tanned leather, so small color variations are normal and add to their charm.
