Storage
Always use your dust bag

Store in the provided Femme LA dust bag away from heat, direct sunlight, and moisture.

Cleaning
Wipe gently after wear

Use a soft, dry cloth or enclosed wet wipe on vegan leather surfaces. Never saturate the material.

Before First Wear
Remove outsole membrane

All footwear ships with a protective membrane on the sole. Remove it completely before wearing.

Professional Maintenance
Your shoes deserve a cobbler.

Regular professional upkeep is the best way to extend the life of your Femme LA footwear. We recommend taking your shoes to a trusted local cobbler for ongoing maintenance — just as you would with any quality pair of shoes.

Heel Tips

Heel tips wear down with use and should be replaced regularly. We include spare heel tips in your box to get you started.

Sole Protection

A cobbler can apply a protective sole or toe cap to reduce wear and extend the life of your footwear.

Professional Cleaning

We recommend periodic professional cleaning to maintain the finish and condition of the material.

Heel maintenance must be handled by a professional cobbler. Femme LA does not offer repairs or warranty coverage on worn footwear.

01

Daily Care & Handling

Femme LA products are handmade — slight variations in color, finish, or texture are natural characteristics of the product and are not considered defects.

Keep footwear clean and dry after each wear. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat, direct sunlight, rain, or moisture. Vegan leather surfaces should be wiped gently with a soft, dry cloth or enclosed wet wipe. Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or alcohol-based products on the material.

02

Surfaces & Environments to Avoid

Heels should not be worn on abrasive surfaces, flooring with imperfections, or in environments where the heel may become caught — such as escalator grooves, cobblestones, or uneven pavement. Use caution when walking, removing, or adjusting footwear to minimize the risk of damage.

Vegan leather, while durable, is not as resilient as traditional leather. Avoid wearing Femme LA footwear in clubs, poolside settings, wet conditions, on soil or grass, or in any environment involving exposure to liquids, alcohol, or oils, as these may compromise the material and finish.

03

Heel Care & Maintenance

Heel tips are a wear item and will naturally deteriorate with use. We include spare heel tips in every Femme LA box — take these to your local cobbler for installation when needed. Do not wait until the heel tip is fully worn through, as this can cause damage to the heel structure itself.

All heel repairs, tip replacements, and sole work must be carried out by a professional cobbler. Attempting repairs at home may cause further damage and will void any eligibility for consideration under our policies.

04

Warranties & Liability

Femme LA does not offer warranties on worn footwear. We are not responsible for damage caused by wear, misuse, improper handling, exposure to unsuitable environments, or failure to follow care instructions.

If damage occurs from regular use, we recommend consulting a local cobbler for assessment and repair. Many common issues — including heel tip wear, sole separation, and surface scuffs — can be resolved professionally.

No warranty is offered on any pair that has been worn. All sales are final once footwear has been used. For pre-wear issues, please contact us within 3 days of delivery.
