To use these Vionic women's loafers, simply slip them on and you're ready to go. They're great for everyday wear, traveling, or just exploring around town. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to clean off dirt and debris. If the leather or suede gets wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. You can also use a leather or suede conditioner to keep the upper looking good. The removable footbed can be taken out and washed gently if needed. Just make sure to let it dry completely before putting it back in. And remember, these shoes are designed to be lightweight and flexible, so treat them with care to keep them in top shape.
