Aesthetic Mary Janes

A critical fact across our sampled footwear is that all models run small.

Velvet catches light softly and pairs beautifully with dark tights and heavy wools, though it requires dry weather to prevent moisture spotting. Match your shoe texture to seasonal outfit fabrics so your materials look intentional and hold up against weather conditions.

Proper daily maintenance keeps your shoes looking clean and extends the wearable life of non-leather materials. Because vegan leather, faux suede, and velvet react differently to moisture and dirt, establishing the right cleaning habit for each texture is essential.

For smooth vegan leather flats and heels, maintenance is straightforward. Use a slightly damp microfiber towel to wipe away surface street dust and mud splashes after returning home. Avoid harsh alcohol-based cleaners or abrasive pads that could scratch the smooth synthetic surface.

Faux suede and soft velvet models require dry care methods to preserve their nap and color richness. Never submerge suede or velvet flats in water; instead, brush them gently in a single direction with a clean, dry, soft-bristle brush to lift loose dust and eliminate light scuff marks. Let damp spots dry naturally away from direct heat before brushing to restore fiber texture evenly.
