FAQs
1. Are L’Amour Shoes good for first walkers?
Yes! Angel Baby Shoes (the baby line by L'Amour Shoes) are designed for babies and toddlers taking their first steps. They are lightweight with flexible rubber soles that support natural movement and provide comfort and stability. Angel Baby Shoes are generally wider and roomier (compared to L'Amour Shoes) and generally feature a hook-and-loop velcro strap for easy on-off.
2. Who usually buys L’Amour Shoes?
Moms and grandmothers choose our shoes for everyday wear as well as for special occasions, including first days of school, birthdays, holidays, christenings, and memorable moments. Our styles are classic and timeless, yet versatile enough for the everyday. We are honored that grandparents who once bought our shoes for their children now buy them for their grandchildren. Our shoes are a favorite for gifting. In fact, moms who used to wear our shoes now buy them for their littles.
3. Are L’Amour Shoes better for everyday wear or special occasions?
Both - our shoes can be dressed down or up. Many families love dressing their children for family pictures, portraits, holidays, and special events, while others dress them specifically for school, church, and casual wear. The majority of our shoes are made of leather, and while they are designed to be long lasting and of good quality, no leather shoe is truly free from risk of scuffing, depending on how the shoe is worn (or dragged in some cases!). We are pleased to report that most of our customers are very satisfied with the quality and life they get out of L'Amour Shoes.
4. Do L’Amour Shoes run big or small?
Angel Baby Shoes (the baby line by L'Amour Shoes) runs big in general, by almost a size.
For L'Amour Shoes, our mary janes and t-straps generally run true to size (unless otherwise noted). Some of our flats run small, while our sandals run big. This information is all noted on the product page.
Once you've decided on a style, we highly recommend reviewing the product page for any sizing notes (and the size chart if needed). Don't hesitate to email us at support@lamourshoes.com if you need further guidance on sizing.
5. Are L’Amour Shoes good for wide feet?
Most of our shoes are medium width. For wide feet, we recommend sizing up by one size, or getting a roomier shoe (not sure which? Just email us!)
Angel Baby Shoes (our baby line) are roomier and perfect for accommodating first walkers with chubbier feet and feet with a high instep.
6. What materials are L’Amour Shoes made from?
For most of our shoes, they are made with high quality leather and durable rubber soles - a standard our customers have come to expect. Our shoes are designed to last and become keepsakes for milestones and memories.
7. What makes L’Amour Shoes a good choice of gift?
They are a timeless heirloom-style gift. Many grandparents and parents choose L’Amour Shoes for special occasions because they are the main event of dressing - not only are they elegant and durable, but they photograph beautifully in family milestones.
8. How do I care for L’Amour Shoes?
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water. Leather will soften naturally over time and shape to your child’s feet. For tougher stains or marks, you may try cleaning solutions like Jason Markk, which is especially effective for cleaning the outsole. When applying solution to leather, always try on a tiny inconspicuous spot first to ensure it won't ruin the leather.
